Ingredients

  • 12 oz semi sweet chocolate chopped
  • 1 1/2 Cups salted peanuts

Instructions

  • Line two large baking trays with parchment paper.
  • Place the chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water on the stovetop on low to medium heat. Stir until melted, about 3 - 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Add chopped peanuts to the chocolate and stir well.
  • Mound spoonfuls onto a baking tray. I used a tablespoon. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Remove from fridge and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

*A note on times provided: appliances vary, any prep and/or cook times provided are estimates only.

Notes

  1. When melting the chocolate, make sure no water gets into the chocolate.  Otherwise you risk the chocolate seizing.  Which means it will melt and harden.  If you don't have a double boiler, place a heat proof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water.
