Place the lid on and let the chocolate melt. Then follow the instructions as directed.
Can I freeze Spring Peanut Clusters?
Yes you can but please note that the almond bark chocolate will begin to sweat as the clusters thaw and come to room temperature. They’ll still taste great though!
Can I use Peanut M&M's or other varieties of M&M's?
Yes! Using peanut M&M’s is perfect fine and add’s to the crunchy nuttiness of this simple treat. Adding caramel filled M&M’s can also be a fun way to get a new flavor and texture out of this snack.
