Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Does anyone remember the flour shortage of 2020 during the pandemic? During that time, I had to get creative with my sweets. More than ever I needed a sweet treat during that time, but couldn’t bake because - well, no flour! This was my solution and I truly believe regardless of your flour levels at home now, you’ll be grabbing for the easy 3 pantry ingredients to make these!! I store them in the freezer, making these chocolate peanut clusters even more irresistible on hot summer days! I have a feeling you are going to constantly want them just as much as I do.
