Easy Cookie Chocolate Clusters
These Cookie Chocolate Clusters are easy to make & easy to eat. Made with your favourite simple cookie & melted chocolate, add some extras!
Ingredients
- 7 ounces cookies (broken into small pieces - simple vanilla, shortbread or sugar cookies)
- 4½ ounces dark chocolate (melted good quality or leftover chocolate)
- 4½ 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.
