Instructions
- Place chocolate chips or broken chunks of semi sweet chocolate bar in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 40 to 60 seconds, or until chocolate is 90% melted. Remove from microwave and stir until fully melted. This step gives a nice shine on the chocolate peanut clusters.

Notes
Use good quality chocolate - I recommend using good quality like Ghiradelli or Guittard.
They are best stored in the fridge and served cold.
Use roasted peanuts and not raw.
