Yield makes 1 1/2 cups (265 g)

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 ounces (115 g) semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup (150 g) roasted, unsalted peanuts

Steps:

  • Put the pieces of chocolate in an absolutely dry heatproof bowl. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth. In the meantime, stretch a piece of plastic wrap over a dinner plate.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and stir in the peanuts, coating them with the chocolate. Spread the mixture on the plastic-lined plate and chill.
  • Mixing Them In
  • Use a chef's knife to chop the chocolate-covered block of peanuts into bite-sized pieces, then mix them into 1 quart (1 liter) of ice cream as you remove it from the machine.
  • Variation
  • You can substitute Salt-Roasted Peanuts (page 188) or Pralined Peanuts (page 196) for the roasted peanuts in this recipe.
  • Storage
  • Chocolate-Covered Peanuts can be stored for several months in an airtight container, refrigerated or at room temperature.
