Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Dark chocolate, semisweet chocolate, or milk chocolate can all be used, depending on your preference.
- Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. If it is too thick, it will be difficult to work with.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it is ready by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it hardens immediately, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the chocolate, or it will become thick and grainy.
- If you want to add other ingredients to the peanut clusters, such as nuts, dried fruit, or pretzels, do so after the chocolate has been melted.
- Store the peanut clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
