Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (16 oz) White Chocolate Almond Bark
  • 16 oz Dry Roasted Peanuts (or Salted Peanuts)
  • 1 bag (10 oz) Easter Holiday M&M’s (Plain)
  • 1–2 tablespoons Holiday Easter Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Double Boiler:
    • Add 2 cups of water to an Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Set it to “Sauté” mode and wait until it reads “Hot.”
    • Place a large heatproof bowl on top of the pressure cooker to act as a double boiler.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:
    • Roughly chop the almond bark and add it to the glass bowl.
    • As the bowl heats up, the almond bark will begin to melt. Stir carefully until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  3. Mix in the Peanuts:
    • Add the dry roasted peanuts to the melted chocolate and stir until they are evenly coated.
  4. Add M&M’s:
    • Stir in half of the bag of M&M’s into the peanut and chocolate mixture.
  5. Form the Clusters:
    • Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Press 1 or 2 additional M&M’s onto the top of each cluster for a pop of color.
    • Sprinkle with holiday-themed sprinkles for extra festive flair.
  6. Cool and Set:
    • Allow the clusters to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
  7. Store:
    • Once set, store the clusters in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge.

Notes

  • Customize: Swap out the M&M’s for other candies like Reese’s Pieces or mini marshmallows for a fun twist.
  • Quick Cooling: If you’re in a hurry, place the clusters in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to speed up the cooling process.
  • Storage: These clusters can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container.
