Candied Peanut & Sea Salt Chocolate

Pin It Now!

Before we start today's post, I would like to remind you of my Facebook Link Up Party which will be open until January 31 - You can still link up  HERE

************************************************************************

This was supposed to have a mixture of Fruit & Nuts as a topping, but typically me,.. I found these delicious Candy coated Peanuts, so back on the rack with the Fruit & Nuts and here we are with the Candied Peanuts.

Super easy - no mold, yes, my heart shaped cookie cutters again!  As some of us in our household like our chocolate with a bit of Sea Salt and others don't, I made half with the Salt and the other half without.

You will need:

A good quality Chocolate, melted

Candied/Sugared Peanuts

Different size Heart cookie cutters  {or just one size}

Sea Salt {optional}

Sprinkles - I used "lips"  {optional}

Place your chosen cookie cutters on a piece of aluminium foil {flat plate underneath}

Pour the melted Chocolate into the cutters {to your thickness preference}

Place in the freezer compartment until half set (about 1 - 2 minutes, depending on the thickness}

Top with the Candied Peanuts whilst still half set - add the Sea Salt and Sprinkles {if using} now as well.

Place back in the freezer compartment for another 2 - 3 minutes until fully set.

Gently break off the excess chocolate which has seeped through {see arrows}.

Tap out your chocolate heart from the cookie cutter {I found to push it a little upwards first and then out downwards works best}

Perfect as a teacher or friend gift. Use paper lunch bags with a nice Valentine's ribbon as packaging.

Later,

Linking up with these cool parties:
