Equipment
- 1 Wooden Stick
- 1 Tweezers
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Peanuts
- 0.5 Cup Sugar-Free Chocolate Bar
- 1 Tablespoon Coconut Oil
Instructions
- First things first, prepare all your ingredients. Pick any peanuts of your choice. I am using unsalted recipes for this recipe, but you can also use salted or roasted peanuts. For the chocolate, use a dark chocolate bar and chop it into small pieces to melt easily. You can also use dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips. Choose whatever chocolate you want to use.
- Using the instant pot switched on sautè, add water in and let it boil. Add your chocolate and melt the dark chocolate pieces in a heatproof bowl. Add the coconut oil and stir until thoroughly combined and until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Pour the peanuts into the chocolate and mix with a spoon or baking spatula to coat them evenly. Another way of coating them is to pour the chocolate on top of them, but this can be a bit messy.
- Prepare a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and transfer the chocolate peanuts one by one to cool. You can use a spoon or a long tweezer to transfer each peanut, making sure they do not stick to each other. Let the chocolate-covered peanuts chill in the refrigerator or freezer to enjoy later.

Notes
- Melting the chocolate - you can use other melting methods like a double boiler, which most people do. Microwave is also easy, but you will need a microwave-safe bowl for it.
- Choosing nuts - you can select what peanuts you want for this recipe. Consider lightly salted peanuts, almonds, or cashews for a salty, nutty flavor combo.
- Sea salt - optionally, you can sprinkle a little sea salt on your chocolate-covered peanuts for a contrast in sweetness.
- Chocolate - use semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, or anything within your preference. You can use whatever is available in your fridge. Even the extra chocolate chips from your cookies will do.
