Low Point Chocolate Peanut Clusters
Low Point Chocolate Peanut Clusters
Ingredients
- 1 cup Lily’s dark or milk chocolate baking chips (Lily’s is sugar-free, making it lower in points)
- 1 cup peanut butter (or your choice of nut butter; use a low-sugar option if available)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup peanuts (or your choice of nuts; lightly salted or unsalted works well)
Directions
- Prepare the Tray: Line a mini cupcake tin with paper liners.
- Melt Ingredients: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil, stirring constantly to avoid burning. (For microwave melting: heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth).
- Mix in Nuts: Once melted, add most of the peanuts to the chocolate mixture, reserving a few for topping. Stir until evenly combined.
- Portion the Clusters: Spoon the mixture into the mini cupcake liners to your desired depth (halfway full is a good portion size for a smaller bite).
- Add Toppings and Chill: Sprinkle the reserved peanuts on top of each cluster. Place the tin in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Serve and Store: Store clusters in the fridge until ready to serve. They melt easily, so keep any extras in the fridge or freezer.
Nutritional Information and Points (Per Cluster – Makes approx. 12 clusters):
- Calories: ~100
- Weight Watchers Points: ~2 points per cluster (depending on portion size and peanut butter brand)
Tips:
- Portion Control: For the lowest points, stick to a single layer in each mini cup.
- Nut Variations: Swap peanuts for almonds or cashews, or use mixed nuts to vary flavor.
Benefits:
These clusters offer a delicious treat with healthy fats and protein from nuts, without added sugars due to Lily’s chocolate chips. They’re easy to grab for a quick sweet snack without derailing your points.
Conclusion:
Low Point Chocolate Peanut Clusters make a great dessert or snack that’s quick to prepare and full of flavor. Perfect for curbing a chocolate craving in a Weight Watchers-friendly way!
