Looking for a quick and easy dessert treat? These Chocolate Clusters require almost no cooking at all! Annie Mae, the lady who worked for my parents for over 60 years, was always looking for ways to satisfy my Mother’s yearning for candy. It was a daunting task; because Mom was lactose intolerant in an era before dairy free ingredients were so easily found. These Chocolate Clusters were the perfect after dinner treat for Mom and are perfect for Tu b’Shevat, Valentines Day or frankly-any time at all. Make a double batch. They will disappear in seconds!
If anyone in your group is allergic to nuts, substitute them with toasted sunflower seeds or leave them out completely. For another chocolate dessert where I’ve substituted dried fruit for nuts, try my Chocolate Chip Apricot Brownies.
