❤️ Why You’ll Love This Keto Chocolate Peanut Clusters Recipe

Nothing beats a rich and indulgent treat that’s also sugar-free, especially when it tastes like a decadent candy bar. For these chocolate peanut clusters, I melt smooth peanut butter with dark chocolate, stir in peanuts, and then let the fridge do the rest of the work. These little clusters firm up into the kind of snack you nibble straight off the tray.

What I love most is how easy they are to make. You don’t need fancy tools or hours in the kitchen. Just a handful of pantry staples turns into glossy chocolate bites with that perfect mix of sweet and salty crunch. Keep a batch chilled, and you’ll always have a quick, sugar‑free treat ready whenever the craving hits.

🔪 How to Make Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Finely chop the chocolate bars and add them to a microwave safe bowl. Add in the peanut butter, then microwave for 1 minute.

Whisk to combine and if the chocolate has not completely melted, continue to heat in the microwave in 10 second increments, making sure not to overheat the chocolate and risk it seizing up, becoming grainy or lumpy.

Once the chocolate and peanut butter is fully melted and smooth, whisk in the vanilla extract.

Pour in the peanuts.

Stir the mixture well, making sure all the peanuts are well coated.

Using a silicone spatula or spoon, add clumps of the chocolate covered peanuts onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill in the fridge for at least 1-2 hours or until fully set before serving.

☑️ Storage Instruction

Fridge: Keep in the fridge for one to two weeks in airtight container

Freezer: You can also freeze them up to three months and thaw a few minutes before eating.

💡 Tips

• To help get the peanut butter out of the jar easier, warm it slightly in the microwave.
• Allow full chill time to prevent the candies from having soft centers.
• Use a cookie scoop for even sized clusters.
• Store the clusters away from other strong scented candies, like peppermint, to protect the flavor.

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Sea salt: Add a pinch of sea salt for an extra salty contrast.

• Nuts: You can mix in chopped pecans or walnuts for variety.

• Coconut: Stir in a little shredded coconut for texture.

• Topping: Drizzle each cluster with a little sugar-free white chocolate for a pretty finish.

Why Did My Chocolate Get Grainy?

It likely overheated so melt slowly and stir often.

Can I Make These Smaller for Snacks?

Yes, just use a teaspoon instead of a scoop.

Can I Use Chunky Peanut Butter?

Yes, it adds extra texture and holds up nicely.

Why Didn’t My Peanut Clusters Harden?

They may just need more chill time. If that’s doesn’t work, it may be that you added too much peanut butter.
