Instructions
1-Prepare the baking sheet: Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
2-Melt the chocolates: First, melt the 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring until smooth to avoid seizing.
3-Add flavor and salt: Once melted, stir in the 1 teaspoon peppermint extract and a pinch of salt for that signature flavor.
4-Combine marshmallows and pecans: In a large bowl, combine the 1 ยฝ cups miniature marshmallows and 1 cup chopped pecans, then pour the melted chocolate mixture over them and fold gently to coat evenly.
5-Form clusters: Next, drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into clusters.
6-Garnish with mini chocolate chips: Sprinkle the ยฝ cup mini chocolate chips on top and press lightly for added texture and garnish.
7-Chill the clusters: Refrigerate the clusters for one hour until they set firmly, then transfer them to an airtight container and keep refrigerated until serving.
