Note

The original ingredient list mentioned 1 cup of seedless raisins and 1 cup of shelled roasted peanuts, which were missing from the structured ingredient list but included in the directions. Ensure you add these to your bowl before mixing.

For best results, use high-quality semisweet chocolate chips or chopped bars to ensure proper melting and texture.

Store the clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.

If you do not have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate and condensed milk in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth.

Make sure the wax paper is lined on a baking sheet for stability while dropping the clusters.
