Ingredients
- 15 Ounces Keto-Friendly Chocolate Chips (just over 1 ½ cups)
- 2 Cups Salted Peanuts
Instructions
- In a large bowl, place all the chocolate chips and microwave on high in 30-second increments. Remove and stir in between each increment until the chocolate is smooth.
- Add the peanuts and stir until well coated.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper on a flat surface and spoon the mixture into small piles (about 2 tablespoons is what I did) until the peanut mixture is completed.
- Allow to cool for up to 2 hours or until chocolate has hardened.
Tips and Variations
- Storage - Store in a sealed container or baggie in the pantry for up to 5 days. Store in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Reheating - Do not reheat these peanut clusters as they will melt if you do. If you’re needing them a little warmer for eating purposes, simply leave them on the counter to warm up on their own.
- Make it a fat bomb - If you want to make this keto holiday candy a fat bomb, simply add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the chocolate when melting it.
- Use other chocolate chip flavors - Mix things up and use other chocolate flavors. For example, white chocolate, peanut butter chips, caramel, etc. Just be sure that they’re keto-friendly!
- Adjust the amount of peanuts - If you like more peanuts in your clusters, simply add more, but be careful that you don’t add too many. If you do, your clusters might not hold together well.
- Swap out the peanuts - If you don’t prefer peanuts, this recipe is easily changed to accommodate other nut options. Almonds, pecans, or walnuts are a tasty choice!
- Add sea salt - For a delicious and extra salty taste, you can sprinkle the tops of the peanut clusters, before they dry, with coarse sea salt.
Common Questions About Keto Peanut Clusters
Can You Freeze Keto Peanut Clusters?
These Keto Peanut Clusters are an excellent treat to freeze. Place them in a freezer bag or airtight container, and stick them in the freezer for up to 3 months. You can snack on them when they are frozen too! Just be careful because they will be very hard. I let them melt in my mouth when they are that cold. If you don’t want them to be that hard, leave them outside the freezer for a bit and they will warm up and soften.
What Nuts Can You Have On Keto?
Most nuts are an awesome idea for keto snacks. They have a good fat content and few carbs. Some of the best nuts to eat for keto diets are brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, and pecans. These nuts have the fewest net carbs. Some nuts to avoid would be cashews and pistachios. Though they are still great for you, they have the most carbs and that is what we want to avoid with keto.
