Sugar Free Chocolate Peanut Clusters
Chocolate peanut clusters are a traditional holiday candy, and now you can enjoy a sugar-free version without sacrificing flavor!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar-free chocolate melting wafers or chips
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts (shelled)
- 1 tablespoon sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
- Add sugar-free chocolate melting wafers or chips to a microwave-safe mixing bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir well. Continue microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring after each, until chocolate is fully melted.
- Add peanuts to the chocolate mixture, stirring well to coat.
- Scoop out rounded tablespoons of chocolate-covered peanuts onto the prepared baking sheet.
- If desired, sprinkle the clusters with festive sprinkles or sanding sugar before the chocolate hardens.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and let chill to allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely before serving. You can also let them cool and harden at room temperature, it will just take a little longer.
Notes
- The use of sprinkles is optional. It can be difficult to find sugar-free sprinkles, but using regular sprinkles in small amounts will not greatly alter the sugar content (1 tablespoon of non-pareil sprinkles averages about 3-4 grams of sugar).
- Sugar-free chocolate chips can be hit-or-miss when it comes to melting. If you can find melting wafers, those are more reliable.
- I get about 12 peanut clusters from this recipe. Feel free to double it if you'd like to have more!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
