1. Melt the Chocolate Mixture

Place the chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, pastry chocolate, and peanut butter in a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until everything melts smoothly. This usually takes about 15–20 minutes.
2. Let the Mixture Cool Slightly
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the melted chocolate mixture to cool for about 5 minutes. This helps the texture thicken slightly before adding the peanuts.
3. Add the Peanuts
Stir the salted and unsalted peanuts into the melted chocolate mixture. Mix well so that all the peanuts are evenly coated with chocolate.

4. Form the Candy Clusters
Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop small portions of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the tray to form clusters.
5. Chill Until Set
Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens and the clusters are firm.
