Ingredients

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanuts finely chopped

Instructions

  1. With an electric mixer, whip the cream and sugar for several minutes, until it becomes whipped cream. Do not overmix, or it will turn into butter.
  2. While the cream is being whipped, place the chocolate in a small bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Stir and heat again in ten second increments, until it is fully melted.
  3. Place the peanuts in a small, bowl.
  4. Whisk your chocolate into to the whipped cream and continue to whisk until fully incorporated.
  5. This next part can be tricky if you don't pay attention... Take two spoons and using one spoon, get about 1 Tablespoon of the chocolate cream out of the bowl. Use the other spoon to shape it into a ball. Then, drop the ball of chocolate cream into the bowl of peanuts.
  6. Pile peanuts on top of the chocolate cream, being careful not to alter the shape too much. Then gently roll the ball around until fully coated with peanuts.
  7. Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
  8. These will hold together for a while after being removed from the fridge; however, they are best eaten cold.
