(What’s so fun & easy about this recipe is you don’t have to be exact! ☺ It’s not baked, so add more or less of your favorite cluster ingredients.)
YOUR CLUSTER MIXTURE:
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- ½ cup mini M&M’s
- ½ cup plain Valentine M&M’s
- ½ cup peanut Valentine M&M’s, chopped
HOW TO MAKE IT:
1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
2. Melt dark chocolate chips in the microwave. Be careful to stir frequently & don’t burn!
3. Put peanut M&Ms in a ziplock bag and smash them into pieces using a rolling pin. (See pics below)
4. Combine broken peanut M&Ms and the rest of your cluster mixture ingredients in a bowl.
5. Slowly pour the melted chocolate onto the cluster ingredients and fold gently.
6. Use a mini ice cream scoop to place your clusters on parchment paper.
7. Then, chill for 30 minutes.
HOW TO DRESS ‘EM UP:
You’ll need some Valentine sprinkles, mini M&M’s & some white chocolate for drizzle!
- Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave, careful to stir frequently and don’t burn
- Dip the top of the cluster into the white chocolate & decorate with Valentine sprinkles
- You can also drizzle the melted white chocolate on the clusters going back and forth & criss cross. Decorate with sprinkles!
Use your imagination with the cluster ingredients!
Other ideas: peanuts & dried cranberries. The kiddos will love folding in the chocolate.
