These Chocolate Butterscotch Peanut Clusters are a holiday favorite in our house. I always have the ingredients on hand so I can whip up a batch for snacking. These chocolate-covered peanuts are crazy good. We could NOT stop eating them!! We had to give them away so we wouldn’t eat the whole batch! With only four ingredients, these couldn’t be any easier to make! An easy and delicious holiday treat. These clusters also make a great homemade gift. Just toss them in a cellphone bag or cute Christmas tin!
How to Make Chocolate Butterscotch Peanut Clusters
These peanuts are super easy to make. Microwave chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Stir in toffee bits and peanuts. Drop spoonfuls onto parchment or wax paper and let them set up.
- If you aren’t a fan of butterscotch, you can swap it out for peanut butter.
- You can use any flavor of chocolate chips – semi-sweet, dark chocolate, milk chocolate or even white chocolate.
- Aren’t a fan of peanuts? You can use any nuts you enjoy.

Can I use another ingredient in place of nuts for my nut allergy family?
You can make this any way you would like.
I sat on making this recipe for awhile. I made them for family cookie exchange this year. They were awesome. They are everything you said they were.
If you are using pecans instead of the roasted peanuts, do you suggest chopping the nuts?
That is up to you.
Do you use milk, or semi-sweet chic chips?
Any of those are fine. It is up to you.
I like almost all nuts, so I make these for special occasions (none of which include the man-made holidays!) using Brazil nuts, cashews, macadamias (my personal favorite nut of all time), almonds, and/or peanuts. Most of the time, the batches consist of using just one kind of nut, but I do end up with "extra" nuts after each batch, and that last batch is the best of all, combining all the nuts into one mess, and using chocolate, butterscotch and cinnamon chips for the candy base. It's SOOOOO good!!!
I made a candy similar to this but instead of toffee, I add crushed up rippled potato chips. I also use the cocktail peanuts instead of dry roasted. People go crazy for this candy! It is so good!
I’m going to have to try that! Sounds yummy!
Oh yummy! The addition of toffee bits really makes it sound good =)
