- Prep a 8 x 8 pan by lining with parchment paper.

HOMEMADE COPYCAT CHUNKY BARS
Steps:
- Fastest way, melt chocolate (leave out 2 tablespoons) in a microwave safe bowl or glass measuring cup with the solid coconut oil. Turn on 25 seconds, take out stir, put back in for 20 intervals, while stirring until chocolate is melted and shiny. Then add in the last 2 tablespoons of chips. This will temper the chocolate to keep it's shape. Stir until the chips are melted into the chocolate and keep stirring until shiny again. 2) Add in peanuts and raisins and stir gently. 3) Fill each mold (Ben, see photo of molds above) to almost the top. Remember Chunky Bars are thick. Let sit on counter for 10 minutes. Then, place the moldshttps://amzn.to/3Psp0hj on a cookie sheet and place in freezer for about an hour. Unmold them and the Chunky bars should be set up and be able to be stored on the counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge up to a week. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use good quality chocolate: Since chocolate is the star of this recipe, make sure to use a high-quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate is a good option.
- Chop the nuts and pretzels evenly: This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the clusters.
- Don't overcook the toffee: The toffee should be a light amber color and should not be too thick. If you overcook it, it will be difficult to work with and will not taste as good.
- Work quickly when assembling the clusters: The toffee will start to harden quickly, so you need to work quickly to assemble the clusters before it gets too hard.
- Be patient when waiting for the clusters to set: It will take a few hours for the clusters to set completely. Be patient and don't try to rush the process.
