Chocolate Covered Peanut Recipes

Try these Chocolate Covered Peanut Recipes if you love that crunchy nutty taste that comes from chocolate coated peanuts.

I am so thankful that I am not one of the unfortunate people who are allergic to peanuts. I have really learned to love chocolate peanuts over the years. Add a little caramel to the mix and I simply can't resist!

If you are just looking to order some chocolate covered peanuts you can find them at Lake Champlain Chocolates and at the Wisconsin Cheeseman's Premium Chocolate & Candy Gifts. Here's a couple of other options, too, if you need a bulk supply for a party or special event.

But, if you are a do-it-yourself girl, like me, try one or more of these easy chocolate covered peanut recipes.

Chocolate Peanut Bites

1 1/2 packages chocolate chips
1 package butterscotch chips
1 cup peanut butter
5 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup raisins
2 cups salted peanuts
1 cup peanut butter

Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together in the microwave or in a double boiler, stirring until smooth. (Do not overheat in the microwave. Stir every 30 seconds.)

Add the peanut butter and beat until smooth. Stir in marshmallows, raisins, and peanuts.

Pour mixture into foil lined 9x13 inch pan and chill for at least 2 hours.

Lift candy out of pan and cut into 1 inch squares. Yummmm!
