Enjoy these three ingredient Chocolate Peanut Clusters! Made with dark chocolate, peanut butter and roasted peanuts, they’re the perfect chocolate treat for entertaining or the holidays.
You only need 3 ingredients to make these delicious Chocolate Peanut Clusters!
I know it’s not Christmas, and I even missed Christmas in July, but I think Chocolate Peanut Clusters can be eaten ALL year round. These Chocolate Peanut Clusters SO easy to make – you’re going to LOVE them.
Creamy, crunchy and totally moreish ❤️
This recipe only requires a bowl and a spoon. No electric mixer and no weird ingredients 🙅♀️
Ever since I made my One Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie, I have been loving simple recipes. Sometimes life doesn’t leave you with time to bake an elaborate layer cake but it doesn’t mean you can’t make something. That’s why I love no bake recipes.
So what makes these Peanut Clusters so good?! Well my recipe has a little peanut butter twist – for added flavour.
All you have to do is melt a little dark chocolate with a few tablespoons of smooth peanut butter, stir through some roasted peanuts and voila, perfect Peanut Clusters.
When I make these Peanut Clusters, I love to sprinkle over a little sea salt for that sweet and salty action. Or you could even use roasted salted peanuts.

You could also make these with any other nuts if you prefer. Roasted almonds would be lovely or cashews! I think any roasted nut goes beautifully with chocolate, especially rich dark chocolate. But you could also use milk chocolate if you prefer.
Just be warned that these are very very hard to resist. In fact, I might just go sneak another one. So what are you waiting for?!
HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE PEANUT CLUSTERS
- Start with good quality ingredients. Some nice unsalted peanuts, good quality dark (or milk) chocolate and some smooth peanut butter.
- I recommend using store bought peanut butter – the processed kind like Bega, Jif or Skippy.
- All you need to do and is melt the chocolate and peanut butter in the microwave, stirring until smooth, before adding the peanuts. Stir until all the peanuts are covered.
- Line a baking tray or serving platter with baking or parchment paper. Spoon out teaspoons of the chocolate mix, sprinkle over a little sea salt, and pop in the fridge to set.

Lorna says
Super easy and delicious! These literally took 10 minutes to make. I feel like it’s a healthier sweet treat.

I’m so glad you enjoyed them Lorna!
shay says
Yum!
A couple of suggestions:
* if you have a large enough bowl that fits in your microwave, add the peanuts to the melted chocolate mixture – one less chocolate covered dish to clean
* I spooned out portions directly into silicone muffin cups, which helped me work with the limited space I have in my fridge
Jessica Holmes says
Great suggestions, thanks Shay!
Michele says
Easy to make and everyone loves it!
Jessica Holmes says
Yay!

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE SHINE OR TO MAKE IT GLOSSY
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Dan, there’s only one way to have shiny chocolate and that’s by tempering it. The chocolate in the photos here only looks shiny because it’s still setting. Hope that helps.
Jackz says
Thanks for the fantastic recipe! These are so easy to make and taste amazing! I’m thinking these will be lovely Christmas gifts.
Jessica Holmes says
So glad you enjoyed them! And yes they would be perfect for Christmas!!
Teresa Wilkins says
I am making these today. Sound great. Can they be frozen? And if so, how long?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi Teresa, yes you can store these in the fridge or freezer. Hope you enjoy them!
Lakshmi Joshi says
Hey.. it’s a beautiful recipe !
I just wanted to know if it would be sweet? Or do we have to add sugar?
What % of dark chocolate did you use?
Jessica Holmes says
Hi, I use a 45% dark chocolate so it’s sweet enough. I would just use whatever chocolate you prefer rather than adding sugar.
Nancy Kamm says
This recipe is yummy! Wondered if I could just leave out the peanut butter for a little change of pace? Wouldn’t that work as well? Thanks
Jessica Holmes says
Absolutely! That would be fine!
Nancy Kamm says
Thanks!
