Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add the chocolate and butterscotch chips to a saucepan.
Melt the chips on the lowest heat, stirring constantly until creamy and smooth.
Remove from the heat and stir in the salt and peanuts until they're completely covered.
Scoop out 2 tablespoons of the covered peanuts and place on the parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat until you have 12 clusters. Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes, or until firm.

- You can use a microwave instead of a saucepan on the stove for this recipe. You will want to heat the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a microwave safe dish in 10-15 second increments, stirring each time, until melted and smooth. Be careful to not heat for more than 15 seconds at a time, to prevent ‘burning’ the chocolate.
- Store clusters in the freezer, fridge, or at room temperature. They last at room temperature for up to 1 week and are melt in your mouth soft, chocolatey, and delicious at room temperature, with the same hardness as slightly softened chocolate chips. Or, store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, where they will be slightly harder and you may need to thaw for a few minutes before enjoying. If stored in the freezer, be sure to thaw before eating.
