Grandma's Secret No-Bake Chocolate Walnut Clusters

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped walnuts
• 2 cups chocolate chips (semisweet or dark)
• ½ cup peanut butter
• ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent the clusters from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
2. In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips over low heat. Stir continuously until smooth, ensuring the chocolate does not burn. Remove from heat.
3. Add the peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) to the melted chocolate. Stir until thoroughly combined and the mixture is creamy.
4. Mix in the vanilla extract, then fold in the chopped walnuts. Make sure the nuts are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
5. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters.
6. Refrigerate the clusters for at least 30 minutes, or until set. This helps the chocolate harden and the clusters maintain their shape.
