CHRISTMAS M&M PEANUT BUTTER CLUSTERS
Christmas M&M Peanut Butter Clusters are a festive treat that combines creamy peanut butter, rich chocolate, and colorful M&Ms. These easy-to-make, no-bake clusters are perfect for holiday gifting and sharing at parties.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 ½ cups M&M’s red and green for Christmas
- 1 cup mini marshmallows optional
Instructions
Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Mix with Peanut Butter:
- Stir in the peanut butter to the melted chocolate mixture until well combined.
Add M&Ms and Marshmallows:
- Fold in the M&Ms and mini marshmallows, if using.
Form the Clusters:
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping them into clusters.
Chill and Set:
- Refrigerate the clusters for about 30 minutes, or until they are firm and set.
Notes
- Make Ahead: These clusters can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Customizing: Use dark chocolate or add crushed pretzels for extra crunch.
- Allergy-Friendly: For a nut-free version, use sunbutter instead of peanut butter.
- Storage: Store the clusters in the fridge to keep them firm.
