For a delicious snack or gift-giving option, these Peanut Toffee Chocolate Clusters are fool-proof and made with peanuts, toffee pieces, and rich and delicious chocolate combined to make a cluster.
Let’s see, where do I begin. How about I talk about my slight crazed addiction to all things chocolate. Well, just about everything chocolate. I don’t like chocolate-covered bacon or chocolate covered raisins. That is neither here nor there. Do you know what I love the most about chocolate? How thick it is and how it completely covers the inside of your mouth hand you need cold milk to wash it down. Y’all know what I’m talking about. The same thing happens when you eat a warm chocolate chip cookie and your mouth is all gooey and stuff. I love that effect! It brings my mouth such joy! These chocolate clusters leave you wanting more. In fact, I had to make sure that I had my significant other take them to work with him so I didn’t eat more than what I did.
You know something that is a gift and curse about being a food blogger and a food enthusiast, you’re not afraid to get in the kitchen to make new things or just about anything you want. If I am craving muffins or chocolate chip cookies, I can just go into the kitchen and make them. The reason that it is such a curse is that I can make whatever I want when I want. That ability serves as both. Does that make sense to you? That is kind of how these chocolate clusters came to life. I really wanted something with chocolate and I didn’t feel like driving anywhere. Soooo, I went into my cupboard, saw that I had a bunch of chocolate, and WHA-LA! I made Peanut Toffee Chocolate Clusters.
They started off looking like this…
And ended up looking like that…
You can make these for holidays, house-warming, bridal showers, baby showers, thank you gifts, or whatever! I love to make food that is multi-purposeful and these chocolate clusters are one of them. As a matter of fact, I do think that I am going to make these for the holidays, put them in cute mason jars, and give them as gifts! I didn’t think about that until just now. Now, I know that some of you are thinking the same thing. AWESOME SAUCE!
