Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the clusters will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Chop the chocolate finely: This will help it melt evenly and quickly. You can use a knife or a food processor to chop the chocolate.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate: Chocolate can easily burn, so it's important to heat it gently. Stir the chocolate constantly while it's melting.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: You can add a variety of mix-ins to your chocolate clusters, such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or candy. Be creative and experiment with different flavors.
  • Let the chocolate clusters cool completely: This will help them set and harden properly. You can store the chocolate clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
