Peanut marshmallow clusters are an absolute delight to eat! Every single bite is like a burst of flavor – the combination of the roasted peanuts and sweet, creamy marshmallow creates an indulgent experience.

Sweet, salty, crunchy, and chewy all in one bite, they create a flavor symphony that’s truly delectable.

To make these irresistible treats, you’ll need:

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1½ cups dry roasted cocktail peanuts

Substitutions And Additions

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: You can substitute chocolate almond bark for the chocolate chips in this no-bake recipe.

MARSHMALLOWS: You can substitute multi-colored miniature marshmallows for white miniature marshmallows.

PEANUT BUTTER: You can add 1 cup of crunchy peanut butter or creamy peanut butter. Heat the peanut butter with the chocolate chips and vegetable oil as instructed in the recipe.

How To Make This Peanut Marshmallow Clusters Recipe

Before you do anything, make sure to line your baking sheets with wax paper. You don’t want any of the gooey goodness to stick!

The chocolate can be melted quickly in the microwave before stirring in the peanuts and the marshmallows. Scoop the clusters onto the baking sheets before letting them set and enjoying them.

Our step-by-step instructions below will guide you through the process.

STEP ONE: Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper and set them aside.

STEP TWO: Add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate chips and oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. 

STEP THREE: Allow the chocolate mixture to cool to lukewarm before stirring in the miniature marshmallows and peanuts until the marshmallows and nuts are completely coated.

STEP FOUR: Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the candy clusters. Space the clusters about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Allow the candy to chill in the refrigerator to completely set before serving. 

How To Serve

For a special treat, try adding fresh seasonal fruits such as strawberries, oranges, or peaches for an extra juicy finish. You could also serve your peanut marshmallow clusters with homemade chocolate chip cookies or chocolate-covered graham crackers for an afternoon snack everyone is sure to love.

This delicious treat would be perfect for your snacks this holiday season. They also make the perfect homemade gift to share with friends and family. Add them to a fancy cookie tin along with our peanut brittle and butterscotch haystacks.

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftovers of these chocolate peanut clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

IN THE FREEZER: We don’t recommend freezing these treats as the texture of the marshmallows will not be the same once thawed.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups miniature marshmallows
• 1½ cups dry roasted cocktail peanuts

Instructions

 

• Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper and set them aside.
• Add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a large heat-safe mixing bowl. Heat the chocolate chips and oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
• Allow the chocolate to cool to lukewarm before stirring in the miniature marshmallows and peanuts until the marshmallows and nuts are completely coated.
• Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the candy clusters. Space the clusters about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Allow the candy to chill in the refrigerator to completely set before serving.

Notes

• Make sure to use parchment paper or wax paper when spooning out the clusters. They’ll lift easily off of the paper.
• Don’t heat for more than a 30-second interval at a time, and stir well between each heating so that your chocolate chips don’t scorch (if they scorch, they solidify and clump together, and there’s no saving them, you’ll have to start over).
• If giving for a holiday gift, you could also place each cluster into a cupcake paper once they are set.
