How to make these Chocolate Covered Marshmallow Peanut Clusters
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.
Add in the peanuts stir. Add in the marshmallows, stir.
Prepare wax or parchment-lined baking sheet(s).
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 or waxed paper. Let set to firm up or place in refrigerator and cool for 30 minutes or until firm. Store in an airtight container.
Let them set up and devour! You can make these smaller or larger depending on your preference. These make a large batch, so they are perfectly festive for your Christmas party trays or gifting in nice tins or decorated box.
So five minutes later and you are on your way to the best no-bake rocky road candy for a super easy snack that all the teenagers will love as well as the adults! YUM!

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!
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!!
Thank you so much! I had my own personal stash so I can definitely relate!!
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. 😉
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! 🙂
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.
Yes you can freeze them for sure. Just bring them to room temperature to serve. 🙂
My concern is can these be frozen?
It's impossible to stop, trust me Christie! 🙂 Thank you!
Wow they look absolutely amazing Kim! I would not be able to stop myself from eating these.
Thank you Josiah! I can't stop eating them! 🙂
I love how you think and I agree Katherine! 🙂 Thank you so much!
Me too Kelly! They are my favorite! xo Thank you!
Exactly! We need to make more! 🙂 Thank you so much Ben!
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 🙂
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! 🙂
Hi Kim, can I omit peanut butter? Would it change the texture at all?
I love easy candy recipes like this! Perfect for holiday baking and gifting. Pinning!
YUM!!! How could I stop at just one!? These look so delicious!!
These candy clusters look so decadent, thank you for sharing!
