These chocolate peanut clusters have a wonderful peanut-buttery chocolate flavor and a nice crunch thanks to roasted peanuts. If you are looking for a last-minute holiday recipe to bring to a party or family gathering, look no further! No need to make a batch of cookies when you can whip up these delicious clusters. Chocolate + Peanut Butter+ Nuts are the perfect holiday treat!

This recipe is super easy to make, and I bet you have all of the ingredients already in your pantry. Plus, research shows that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, can be a great addition to your diet and has many health benefits.

These cutie pie little chocolate peanut butter nut clusters are one of my favorite no-bake healthier candy recipes to make. They only have a few minutes of actual prep time, then they finish coming together with a short time in the refrigerator.

They seriously taste like candy but are so easy to make, it’s pretty unbelievable. I don’t believe there is any combination more classic than the pairing of chocolate and peanut butter. Combine that deliciousness with nuts in this simple recipe and you have got a winner!

Now, I used peanuts to make the nut clusters. But you can actually use any nuts you want! You can also add raisins, apricots, dried pineapple, cranberries, whatever you like!

Make your own creation but whatever you put in them, you can bank of it that these nut clusters will be sweet, salty, nutty and crunchy, and incredibly delicious. Everyone who tries them, thinks they are amazing and has no clue they are sugar-free.

They also make standout gifts – box them up with each cluster in its own foil or paper candy cup.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do.
