Note

Store loosely covered in a cool, dry place or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

For a nut-free version, substitute the peanuts with additional marshmallows or chocolate chips.

Ensure the water in the double boiler is simmering gently to prevent the chocolate from seizing or burning.

If the mixture becomes too thick to drop, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds to loosen it slightly before shaping.
