Ingredients
  • 16 ounce Peanuts
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC) if using raw peanuts, otherwise ensure roasted peanuts are at room temperature.
  2. 2
    If using raw peanuts, spread them on a baking sheet and toast for 10-12 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden. Let cool completely.
  3. 3
    Chop the chocolate bars or measure out the chocolate discs into a heatproof bowl.
  4. 4
    Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval until smooth.
  5. 5
    Set the bowl of melted chocolate over a pan of hot water to keep it fluid and at the right consistency for dipping.
  6. 6
    Using a fork or dipping tool, dip several peanuts at a time into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  7. 7
    Lift the peanuts and allow excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.
  8. 8
    Place the coated peanuts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or into individual paper candy cups.
  9. 9
    Repeat the dipping process until all peanuts are coated.
  10. 10
    Refrigerate the tray for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and hardened.
  11. 11
    Store the finished chocolate-dipped peanuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
