Ingredients
  

  • 15 individual soft caramel candies
  • 35 mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts
  • 2 cups chocolate melting chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your broiler to low. Unwrap all of the caramels. Using your hands, shape three caramels into a round shape and place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Make them a bit cup shaped to hold the marshmallows.
  • Top the caramels with 5-6 mini marshmallows and place under the broiler until soft but not toasted. Press peanuts onto the marshmallows and push on to adhere. Place the entire pan into the freezer until fully set.
  • Meanwhile melt the chocolate coating according to package directions.
  • Remove Goo Goo clusters from the freezer and using a spoon, drip chocolate on the tops of the candy. Return to freezer and chill until set.
  • Flip the candies over and cover the bottom of the candy with chocolate. Place in the freezer to set. Remove and let candy come to room temperature. Serve.

Notes

We like using chocolate melting wafers for this recipe because it ensure the chocolate will be set outside of the refrigerator.
You can also make mini Goo Goo Clusters by using one caramel, three mini marshmallows and a few peanuts.
