Prep Tips:

Low and slow: Melt chocolate on LOW only to prevent scorching or seizing.
Wait to stir: Let ingredients melt for 45–60 minutes before stirring for the smoothest texture.
Nut-free option: Replace cashews with pretzels, toasted cereal, or crushed cookies. Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter if needed.
Customize it: Add sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or themed toppings after portioning the candy.
Set completely: Allow candy to fully firm up before stacking or storing.
No liners needed: Scoop candy clusters onto a parchment-lined baking sheet if you don’t have cupcake liners.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
