- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- 1 cup peanuts salted
Instructions
- Line 1-2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.

- If needed microwave an additional 30 seconds.
- Mix in the peanuts until well coated.
- Let mixture cool for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent hardening.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon-sized scoop of the peanut caramel mixture onto the baking sheets.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden.
- Add the chocolate melting disks to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, then stir and microwave for 15 seconds increments until smooth.
- If needed microwave an additional 30 seconds.
- Dip the caramel peanut mounds into the chocolate, tap off excess chocolate, and place back onto baking sheets to harden.
- Let fully harden for 30 minutes in the refrigerator before eating or storing in covered containers for holiday gifts.
