Easy Chocolate Covered Nut Clusters
These Easy Chocolate Covered Nut Clusters are NO-FAIL candy that you can make and are always a hit. Use any type of nut, but I use peanuts since everyone seems to like those and they are best priced
- 12 oz Candy Melts (Wilton) OR chocolate chips OR bark – dark ( milk or white chocolate)
- 12-14 oz nuts (of your choice)
- Sprinkles if desired
-
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
-
Heat chocolate in a microwaveable safe bowl at 20 second intervals
-
Stirring well to prevent burning.
-
Continue this process until the chocolate is completely smooth and it is the temperature of a baby bath.
-
This is important so that when you add the nuts, it will not cool down too quickly before you are able to make the clusters.
-
Add in the desired amount of nuts, but be sure to allow enough chocolate to cover the nuts completely.
-
Stir well.
-
Form clusters by filling a teaspoon and push off with the back of another teaspoon.
-
If the chocolate happens to begin to harden up by cooling quicker than the clusters are formed, simply put the bowl in the microwave and heat for a few seconds, stir, repeat until warm as a baby bath.
Continue forming clusters. Allow the candy set up and store in a covered container.

Recognize a blessing and be a blessing today.
This looks absolutely delicious-I have to try it! I’m thinking about adding granola to the mix as well 🙂
These are one of my biggest weaknesses! Thanks for showing me how to make them. I may just make up a batch for my out of town family to enjoy! I’m sure some will break in the process and I’ll just have to eat them.
Hi there! Love this post! Thanks so much for linking up to the Pin It Link Party last week! Just wanted you to know that you’re being featured on the link party this week! 🙂 Have a great night!
Well, this gives me an idea for how to solve my chocolate craving right about now. Plus, my kids like making desserts like this together. Definitely pinning for trying later….
Carrie,
I love these nut clusters too. They are so easy to make and yummy!
Blessings,
