6 oz dark chocolate ((60% or more cocoa chips))
2 oz unsweet chocolate (roughly chopped)
2 oz unsalted, roasted peanuts ((about ½ cup))
2 oz raw, whole almonds (chopped (about ½ cup))

½ teaspoon coarse sea salt ( (optional))

Prep a 8 x 8 pan by lining with parchment paper.
Put both types of chocolate in a microwaveable safe bowl. Heat in microwave for 1 min. Remove and stir with spatula. Continue microwaving in 30 second intervals until chocolate is almost all melted (about 1-3 more cycles). Stir vigorously with spatula until chocolate is completely melted and very smooth.
Add nuts and raisins to chocolate and stir to combine.
Pour chocolate mix into prepared dish and spread out. Chocolate may not fill the entire dish and that's ok. Sprinkle sea salt over top of chocolate.

Categories Dessert Snack

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 cups milk chocolate chips (this is the original way) I used 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate and 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate, just to make them a little less sweet.
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup halved unsalted peanuts, you could substitute salted peanuts
1 tsp solid refined (no smell or flavor) coconut oil, this is to harden the chocolate faster and keep it solid

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.

Copycat Chunky Bar Clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make candy bar. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just for a snack.
