Chocolate Peanut Marshmallow Clusters Recipe

How to Make these Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Peanut Clusters

  1. For the chocolate peanut marshmallow clusters recipe – Melt together 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips + 1 cup milk chocolate chips and ¼ cup peanut butter in the microwave for 1 minute, stir. Repeat 1 minute, stir until melted. It’s ok to have some small lumps of chocolate chips in your chocolate, they’ll still keep melting/tempering as you keep stirring the chocolate to get it smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the peanuts to the melted chocolate and stir. Add in the marshmallows, stir.
  3. Prepare wax or parchment-lined baking sheet(s).
  4. Using a medium scoop (1.5 tablespoons) place scoops of chocolate mixture to make 30 clusters. Use a small scoop (1 tablespoon) onto the parchment paper or waxed paper for smaller scoops. Let set to firm up or place in refrigerator and cool for 30 minutes or until firm. Store in an airtight container.
  5. Let them set up and devour! You can make these smaller or larger depending on your preference. These chocolate-covered marshmallows make a large batch, so they are perfectly festive for your Christmas party trays or gifting in nice tins or decorated box.

How to Melt Chocolate on the Stovetop

  • Stove-Top Method – Not a microwave fan when it comes to melting chocolate? This method takes longer, but do what you feel comfortable with.
  • Turn on your stove. Set it to low or medium heat. Use a saucepan and fill it with water at about an inch high. As it gets warm, the steam will heat the bowl on top of the pan and will help the chocolate melt. Keep stirring the chocolate with a rubber spatula as it melts in the pot.  Continue with the recipe with the peanuts and marshmallow mixture to make the clusters.

  1. I’m trying this for the first time as a Christmas sweet box gift for a friend who is a lover of chocolate and mallows. Of course I will try one out too. Thank you for sharing this easy recipe.

  2. These are so delicious! I like that it is just basic ingredients too. I am super delighted to see that they can be frozen, so I stop eating them for a few days.

  3. You can use which ever size you want. I was just giving you options, but I changed it to say ‘or’. These are one of my faves! I hope you love them Janet!

  4. Want to try these!! I am confused about Step 6 – it says to use a medium scoop tp scoop the chocolate mixture onto baking sheet, then to use a small scoop on the parchment paper? Which size do we use, or are you supposed to use both? Thank you very much!!

  5. I cannot wait to make these Clusters, Kim!! I am treating myself over the holidays and I may or may not share these with friends and family. 😉

  6. Aww…thank you so much Heather, that is so sweet! I am so happy to hear you made some of my recipes and tell your Dad Happy Birthday from me! 🙂

  7. Great easy treat. I made these for my dads birthday.
    You have the best recipes. I also made him the banana oat cookies aka power bombs are a huge hit with my family.

  8. Wow they look absolutely amazing Kim! I would not be able to stop myself from eating these.

  9. Oh my goodness, this looks fantastic! I love some good candy clusters, especially those loaded with chocolate, nuts, and caramel – that’s a basically a delicious yet simplified chocolate bar. It’s actually a great idea to make Snickers, Mars, etc. clusters 🙂

  10. Hi Noreen, yes, you can leave it out. If the chocolate is too thick after it’s melted add a tablespoon or 2 of coconut, vegetable or canola oil to it help smooth it out. Enjoy!!! I can’t stop eating it! 🙂
