Preparing No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Clusters

Making these delightful clusters is straightforward and allows you to customize them to your heart’s desire. Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and prepare for an effortless clean-up. The key process will involve melting two kinds of chocolate together and then combining them with marshmallows and pecans.

Gather the following ingredients to create your No-Bake Mint Chocolate Chip Clusters:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 ½ cups miniature marshmallows
1 cup chopped pecans

Feel free to experiment with substitutions, such as using almond or cashew nuts instead of pecans, or switching out peppermint extract for another flavor extract if mint isn’t your thing.
