Chocolate-Covered Peanuts: The Perfect Sweet & Crunchy Snack

Chocolate-covered peanuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that combines the sweetness of chocolate with the crunch of roasted peanuts. Perfect for road trips, movie nights, or a midday treat, this simple homemade recipe ensures a fresh and flavorful snack with no added preservatives.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: About 2 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts (unsalted)
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: Place dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
  2. Coat the Peanuts: Add the roasted peanuts to the melted chocolate and stir until they are evenly coated.
  3. Set on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated peanuts onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they don’t clump together.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.
  5. Enjoy: Once set, break apart any clusters and store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use milk chocolate or white chocolate for variations.
  • Sprinkle a little chili powder or cinnamon for extra flavor.
  • Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
