For the Clusters
  • 2 cups Salted Peanuts Can be substituted with unsalted peanuts and a pinch of salt.
  • 2 cups Mini Marshmallows Large marshmallows can be used if cut into smaller pieces.
  • 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Can be replaced with additional milk chocolate if butterscotch is omitted.
  • 1 cup Butterscotch Chips Can be omitted for a more chocolate-centric flavor.
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Crunchy peanut butter can be used for a fun texture twist.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Add at the end of melting to keep the mixture smooth.

  • baking sheet
  • Spoon or ice cream scoop

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and measure out all ingredients for easy access.
  2. Melt the Chocolates: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Microwave at 20-second intervals until smooth.
  3. Add Vanilla for Flavor: Stir in vanilla extract once the chocolate mixture is smooth.
  4. Incorporate the Peanuts: Fold in the salted peanuts until thoroughly coated in the chocolate mixture.
  5. Allow to Cool Briefly: Let the mixture cool for 1-2 minutes to prevent marshmallows from melting.
  6. Fold in the Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows without crushing them.
  7. Form the Clusters: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined surface.
  8. Set the Clusters: Let the clusters set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or in the refrigerator until firm.
