CHOCOLATE-SALTED PEANUT CRUNCH SQUARES



Chocolate-Salted Peanut Crunch Squares image

What could be more romantic than the cold-pressed oil of a cacao bean-aka cacao butter? Maybe it's the fact that cacao butter isn't just an essential ingredient in chocolate, but also a healthy source of Omega-6 and Omega-9 fatty acids, antioxidants and, yes, mood-stimulating serotonin.

Provided by Silvana Nardone

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 7

2/3 cup unsweetened raw cocoa powder
1/4 cup maple sugar
Salt
2/3 cup raw cacao butter, melted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened rice cereal
1/2 cup roasted salted peanuts, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, maple sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Whisk in the warm melted cacao butter and vanilla until smooth. Gently stir in the cereal and peanuts; pour into the lined pan and, using an offset spatula, spread evenly. Scatter some peanuts over the top and let set overnight at room temperature or refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours. Cut into squares and serve.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 1h50m

Yield about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup peanut butter, creamy or crunchy
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 pinches kosher salt
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups crispy rice cereal, such as Rice Krispies
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment. Beat the peanut butter, butter and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined. Add the sifted confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat on low until incorporated. Increase to medium-high and beat until fluffy and smooth, about 1 minute. Gently stir in the rice cereal with a rubber spatula. Scoop 2-teaspoon-sized mounds (11 to 12 grams each) and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet and freeze until very firm but not frozen, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil in a medium microwave-safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Let cool slightly for 2 minutes.
  • Stick a toothpick into the top of a ball and dip the ball into the melted chocolate. Coat most of the ball in chocolate, leaving a small uncoated circle on top; let excess chocolate drip off. Return the ball to the baking sheet and remove the toothpick. Repeat with the remaining balls. Smooth out the hole left by the toothpick if desired. Refrigerate until the chocolate has set and the peanut butter ball is very firm, at least 1 hour. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
