- 1. Melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips with vegetable oil in microwave a minute at a time and stir up and stop when mixture is smooth. Then add peanuts and stir well. Drop on wax paper or foil covered cookie sheets, and place in fridge to harden. Store in fridge. VEGETABLE OIL USED IN WITH CHIPS PREVENTS THE CHIPS FROM DRYING OUT.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 55% is ideal.
- Toast the peanuts before coating them in chocolate. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Use a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water to melt the chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from burning.
- Temper the chocolate before coating the peanuts. This will help the chocolate set properly and give it a smooth, shiny finish.
- Use a fork or a toothpick to coat the peanuts in chocolate. This will help you to evenly coat the peanuts and prevent them from clumping together.
- Place the chocolate-covered peanuts on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate them until the chocolate is set.
- Store the chocolate-covered peanuts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
