Notes
Keep your chocolate covered peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature. They'll stay fresh for up to 1 week. If your home is warm, store them in the refrigerator to prevent the chocolate from melting.
While this recipe uses peanuts, you can try it with almonds, cashews, or even a mixed nut blend. Just make sure they're lightly salted for the best flavor.
