Ingredients
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for a dairy-free option)
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
A pinch of sea salt (optional)
Preparation Method
Prepare the Pan:
Line a square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
Make the Chocolate Base:
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until warm (do not boil). Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Let sit for 1–2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Sweeten and Flavor:
Stir in the honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt if using.
Assemble:
Pour the chocolate mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chopped peanuts generously over the top, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
Freeze:
Place the pan in the freezer for 2–3 hours, or until completely firm.
Slice and Serve:
Once set, lift the chocolate slab out using the parchment paper. Cut into bars and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the freezer.
Serving Tip:
Let the bars sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before serving for the perfect creamy bite.
