Chocolate Covered Peanuts

Chocolate Covered Peanuts

Plenty of Melting Chocolate*
Peanuts (or almost anything else)

Melt the chocolate in the microwave, usually for about 90 seconds total. Have a spoon nearby and stir it after a minute and then again every 15 seconds. It should be smooth and creamy.

Dump some peanuts into the bowl that you microwaved the chocolate in. Stir to coat.
Scoop by rounded tablespoons and let dry on wax paper. RESIST the urge to eat them when they are all melted! They are even better dry!

These will keep for a while in the freezer, perhaps three months or so, but they will never last that long because they taste great frozen too!

*Melting chocolate usually comes in big bricks or bars, one brand is "Almond Bark." It works better than chocolate chips as it doesn't make your hands sticky. The uses for it are endless- strawberries, pretzels, nuts, etc.... I usually buy extra and freeze it for use throughout the year.
