Serving: 24 clusters | Pre Time: 10 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
– 4 cups of crispy, airy Crispix cereal
– 1 cup of creamy, smooth milk chocolate chips
– 1 cup of rich, dark semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1 cup of dry-roasted, salted peanuts
– 1 tablespoon of pure, glossy vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
2. Measure 4 cups of crispy Crispix cereal into a large, heatproof mixing bowl.
3. Add 1 cup of dry-roasted peanuts to the bowl with the cereal and gently toss to combine.
4. Create a double boiler by placing a medium saucepan with 1 inch of water over medium-low heat and setting a heatproof bowl on top, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water.
5. Combine 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the top bowl of the double boiler.
6. Stir the chocolate constantly with a rubber spatula until it is completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes. Tip: Avoid getting any water or steam in the chocolate, as it can cause it to seize and become grainy.
7. Remove the bowl of melted chocolate from the heat and immediately stir in 1 tablespoon of pure vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
8. Pour the warm, melted chocolate mixture over the Crispix and peanut mixture in the large bowl.
9. Use the rubber spatula to gently fold everything together until the cereal and peanuts are evenly and completely coated in chocolate. Tip: Work quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
10. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
11. Let the clusters set at cool room temperature until the chocolate is completely firm, about 20-30 minutes. Tip: For faster setting, you can place the trays in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
12. Once set, transfer the clusters to an airtight container, separating layers with parchment paper.
Brimming with contrasting textures, these clusters offer a satisfying crunch from the cereal and peanuts against the smooth, creamy chocolate. Their sweet and salty profile makes them dangerously addictive. For a festive twist, sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt or holiday sprinkles immediately after scooping.
