Ingredients

To make these delicious keto peanut clusters, you’ll need:

1 cup roasted peanuts (unsalted or lightly salted)
150g sugar-free dark chocolate (at least 85% cocoa recommended)
2 tablespoons peanut butter (natural, no added sugar)
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Sweetener to taste (such as Stevia or erythritol)
A pinch of sea salt (optional, but enhances flavor)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Melt the Chocolate

Start by breaking the sugar-free chocolate into small pieces. Place it in a heatproof bowl along with the coconut oil. Melt the mixture using a double boiler method (placing the bowl over simmering water) or microwave it in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.

2. Add Peanut Butter and Sweetener

Once the chocolate is fully melted, stir in the peanut butter while the mixture is still warm. Add your preferred sweetener gradually, tasting as you go to reach the desired level of sweetness. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.

3. Combine with Peanuts

Add the roasted peanuts into the chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure each peanut is evenly coated in the rich chocolate blend.

4. Form the Clusters

Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small portions of the mixture onto the tray, forming bite-sized clusters. You can make them as big or small as you like.

5. Chill Until Set

Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 to 45 minutes, or until the clusters are fully set and firm to the touch.

Tips for Best Results

Choose high-quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa percentage to keep carbs low and flavor intense.
If your peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly before mixing.
Don’t overdo the sweetener—keto desserts taste best when lightly sweetened.
Add chopped almonds, pecans, or shredded coconut for extra texture and variety.
Store your clusters in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh and firm.
