Notes
Be sure to read all labels carefully for gluten-free products.
Store the peanut clusters in an airtight container on the counter. These can be stored in the refrigerator, but it will dull the appearance of the chocolate.
If you do not have a double boiler, you can make a Bain Marie using a stainless steel bowl over a simmering pot of water. Be sure the the bowl is above the water.
