Ingredients
 
 

  • 7 ounces cookies (broken into small pieces - simple vanilla, shortbread or sugar cookies)
  • ounces dark chocolate (melted good quality or leftover chocolate)
  • ounces milk chocolate (melted good quality or leftover chocolate)

EXTRAS (optional)

  • ½ cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup skinned almonds roasted (or hazelnuts or peanuts)

You could also add pretzels, 2-3 different types of nuts or even dried fruit.

    Instructions
     

    • Pre-heat the oven to 350F (180C)
    • Place nuts in a single layer on an ungreased baking / cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, toss the nuts then continue to bake for another 3 minutes. Remove them immediately from pan and place in a clean bowl or plate to cool. Do not leave them on the pan to cool, as they will continue to bake.
    • Melt the chocolate either bain marie or in the microwave. Let cool 5-10 minutes.
    • In a medium - large bowl break the cookies into small pieces (I made 2 batches so I divided the cookies into 2 bowls). Add the melted chocolate and additions if using and mix to combine.
    • Place heaping spoonfuls of the mixture on the prepared cookie sheets and chill for about an hour until firm. Enjoy!

    Notes

    I mixed dark chocolate and almonds with the cookies and milk chocolate and mini marshmallows with the cookies.
    Store the chocolate clusters in an airtight container, they will keep in a cool dry area for up to 5 days and in the fridge for approximately2 weeks.
    They can be frozen in a freezer safe container for up to 2 months, separate the layers with parchment paper.
