Ingredients
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
Step 2
Place the semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl.
Step 3
Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and shiny. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
Step 4
Once melted, add the dry roasted peanuts to the bowl of chocolate. Stir well until all of the peanuts are evenly coated in chocolate.
Step 5
Using a spoon, scoop small clusters of the chocolate-covered peanuts and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Space them slightly apart so they don’t stick together.
Step 6
Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for about 1-2 hours or place the tray in the refrigerator for quicker setting (about 20-30 minutes).
Step 7
Once the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the clusters from the parchment paper and transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
Step 8
Enjoy Lisa's Homemade Chocolate Covered Peanuts as a satisfying treat or share them with friends and family!
