Cost: $13.50 total, $1.13 per serving
Ingredients
- 200 g Unsalted Peanuts (dry roasted, skins removed if possible)
- 100 g Honey (light, liquid honey works best)
- 200 g Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa, good quality for melting)
- 200 g White Chocolate (good melting chocolate, no cocoa solids)
- 1 sheet Parchment Paper (to line the baking sheet)
Instructions
Toast the peanuts
Heat a dry frying pan over medium heat and toast the peanuts, stirring constantly, until golden and fragrant (about 5 minutes).
Time: PT5M
Temperature: medium heat
Coarsely chop peanuts
Transfer the toasted peanuts to the food processor and pulse until they are coarsely broken – you want small chunks, not a powder.
Time: PT5M
Combine peanuts with honey
Add the honey to the chopped peanuts in the processor bowl and pulse a few more times until every peanut piece is lightly coated.
Time: PT2M
Spread and flatten the base
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the honey‑peanut mixture onto the sheet, spread evenly, and roll with a rolling pin to flatten as much as possible.
Time: PT5M
Melt dark chocolate
Break the dark chocolate into pieces, place in a microwave‑safe bowl and melt in 30‑second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Time: PT3M
Coat base with dark chocolate
Pour the melted dark chocolate over the flattened peanut layer and spread with a spatula to cover completely.
Time: PT2M
Chill to set dark chocolate
Place the sheet in the refrigerator (or a cool room) for at least 1 hour, until the chocolate is firm enough to handle.
Time: PT1H
Temperature: refrigerator
Flip and remove parchment
Using a spatula, gently lift the set slab, peel off the parchment paper, and place the slab back on the sheet, chocolate side down.
Time: PT5M
Melt white chocolate
Melt the white chocolate using the same microwave method as before, stirring until smooth.
Time: PT5M
Cover with white chocolate and decorate
Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark‑chocolate side, spreading evenly. For a decorative line, pipe a thin stripe of white chocolate with a piping bag or a zip‑lock bag cut to a small tip.
Time: PT5M
Final chill
Return the sheet to the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours, until the white chocolate is completely set.
Time: PT2H
Temperature: refrigerator
Cut into bite‑size pieces
Remove the chilled slab, and using a sharp knife on a cutting board, cut into small squares, diamonds or circles (about 2 cm each).
Time: PT5M
