Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the clusters will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 60%).
- Don't overcook the chocolate: Overcooked chocolate will be grainy and won't taste as good. Cook the chocolate just until it is melted and smooth.
- Add the peanuts and mix well: Make sure the peanuts are evenly coated with chocolate. This will help them stick together and form clusters.
- Use a spoon or fork to drop the clusters onto the parchment paper: This will help you create evenly sized clusters.
- Let the clusters cool completely before enjoying: This will allow the chocolate to set and harden.
