Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup sugar free chocolate morsels or bars
  • 1 cup roasted salted peanuts

Instructions

  • Prepare a baking tray with parchment baking sheets or waxed paper.
  • Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 15 seconds and then stir vigorously. If the chocolate is not melted and smooth, heat in 15 second increments, stirring well between each heating cycle until the chocolate is melted.
  • In a small bowl, add the peanuts and chocolate. Stir together until the chocolate has completely coated the nuts.
  • Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop mounds of the chocolate-covered nuts onto the parchment paper. Drizzle any remaining chocolate over the mounds.
  • Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until hardened before placing in a storage container. Make sure you place either parchment paper or waxed paper between the layers.

Notes

Pantry: Store the diabetic chocolate in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks...or until they last! Be prepared for them to disappear fast! Make sure you place either parchment paper between the layers. Waxed paper works too.
Freezer: Once the clusters are set, place them in freezer bags or airtight containers. Ensure that the containers are sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain freshness. Label the containers with the date of freezing for easy reference. Store the containers in the freezer for up to 3 months
Thawing Tips: When you want to enjoy the clusters, thaw them in the refrigerator before serving. This will help them retain their texture and flavor.
