Use this recipe for Sugar Free Chocolate Peanut Clusters to make a delicious snack that will satisfy your sweet tooth without spiking your blood sugar.
Place the entire bag of chocolate chips in the glass bowl and microwave for 15 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir with the wooden spoon. Put the bowl back in the microwave for 10 seconds then stir and repeat. I needed to do 4-5 intervals of 10 seconds to get the chocolate completely melted. I know this might seem pointless and you might be asking yourself, “What difference does it make if it’s 10 or 20 seconds at a time?” The difference is liquid chocolate that solidifies and liquid chocolate that stays liquid. Be patient and do it right, wasting chocolate is a sin! When you get to the 4th interval stir the chocolate for 30 seconds. If after stirring for about 30 seconds not all the chips have melted in, microwave one more time for 5 seconds and that should do it.
Pour the peanuts in the melted chocolate and stir until every peanut is coated.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. With a spoon, drop a small amount of peanuts (5-8) on the sheet pan making sure the clusters aren’t touching. Don’t focus on the number of peanuts too much, make them as big or small as you want.
Place them in the fridge to harden. Once hardened, store is a zipper bag in the fridge.
