Indulge in These Delightful Caramel Peanut Clusters

A sweet treat featuring crunchy peanuts enrobed in rich caramel and silky chocolate 🥜

Ingredients:

• 11 ounces (311g) Kraft individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
• ¼ cup + 1 tbsp heavy cream
• 3 tbsp salted butter, sliced into pats
• ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2½ cups salted dry roasted peanuts
• 3 cups milk chocolate candy wafer melts (512g)
• 1-2 tsp flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Line two baking sheets with waxed paper, a Silpat baking mat, or parchment paper lightly sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the caramel is fully melted and smooth.
3. Once melted, stir in the sliced butter pats and vanilla until the butter is incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
4. Mix in the salted dry roasted peanuts, then let the caramel mixture cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
5. Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out mounded tablespoons of the caramel-peanut mixture and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
6. Refrigerate the clusters for 1 hour to firm up before dipping.
7. For the chocolate coating, melt the milk chocolate candy wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, heating on full power for 45 seconds, stirring, and continuing to heat in 30-second intervals until smooth.
8. Remove the clusters from the refrigerator and quickly dip each into the melted chocolate, using a fork or candy dipping fork to roll and lift them.
9. Tap off excess chocolate before placing the clusters back on the baking sheet.
10. If desired, sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt while the chocolate is still damp. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
