Time 2h5m

Yield 2 pounds of nut clusters

Number Of Ingredients 15

1-ounce (30 grams) corn syrup
2.5 ounces (70 grams) sugar
1-ounce (30 grams) water
2 pounds assorted whole roasted nuts, unsalted
1-ounce (30 grams) butter
1-ounce (30 grams) cocoa butter

1 vanilla bean
1-ounce (30 grams) butter
1/2 tablespoon (6 grams) salt
1/2 tablespoon (6 grams) lemon juice
16 ounces bittersweet chocolate, tempered

Steps:

  • Prepare the caramel mou: Place the corn syrup, sugar and just enough water to melt the sugar into a saucepan and place on high heat. Cook until the sugar is very dark brown and begins to burn. You will see white smoke. Remove from the heat and add the 1-ounce of water. Allow this to cool slightly.
  • Place the roasted nuts on a silpat baking mat lined baking sheet.
  • Place the butter and cocoa butter in a large heat-proof mixing bowl.
  • Prepare the caramel: Place the sugar, corn syrup, Caramel Mou, cream, vanilla bean, butter, salt, and lemon juice in a saucepan placed over high heat. Insert a candy thermometer and cook to 250 degrees F (121 degrees C). Remove from the heat and pour over the butter and cocoa butter. Let cool for 5 minutes. Spoon the caramel over the nuts to make the clusters.
  • Place the bittersweet chocolate in a paper cornet or small piping bag and drizzle chocolate over the nut cluster. Serve.
  • Jacques' tip: To make a more kid friendly recipe, use store bought caramel squares. Unwrap them and place them on top of the nuts. Put in a warm oven until the caramel melts.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT RAISIN CLUSTER RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Chocolate Peanut Raisin Cluster Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by aerin8

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/2 lb. sweet chocolate, cut into pieces
1/2 c. raw Spanish peanuts
1/2 c. seedless raisins

Steps:

  • Melt chocolate; cool slightly. Add peanuts and raisins and mix well. Drop mixture by spoonful onto baking sheets covered with wax paper. Chill until set. Makes 3/4 pound.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the clusters will taste. This means using real butter, pure vanilla extract, and fresh peanuts and raisins.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to measure your ingredients for the most accurate results.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the clusters tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the batter before shaping it. This will help the clusters hold their shape better when they're baking.
  • Bake the clusters until they're golden brown. This will ensure that they're cooked through and have a nice, crispy exterior.
  • Let the clusters cool completely before storing them. This will help them set and firm up.
  • Store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut and Raisin Clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a batch of these tasty treats that everyone will love.
