Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 10 oz butterscotch chips
  • 1.5 cups salted peanuts
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows one standard bag

Equipment

  • 1 Slow Cooker, Microwave-Safe Bowl, or Double Boiler
  • 2 Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

  1. In a slow cooker, microwave-safe bowl, or double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips until completely smooth. (See blog post for detailed instructions for each method).
  2. Remove the chocolate from the heat and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. This is a crucial step to prevent the marshmallows from melting.
  3. Gently fold in the salted peanuts and mini marshmallows until everything is evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Let the clusters sit at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or until fully set.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Don't Rush the Cooling: Letting the chocolate cool slightly is the key to perfect, chewy marshmallows in your clusters!
