Choco Peanut Squares

Ever tried making chocolate at home?  Never mind if you didn't.  Always a first time!  Here is a
recipe anyone can make and enjoy.  It takes very little time and effort and the results are spectacular.

Ever since I  started making simple chocolates at home I have stopped buying branded chocolates. The satisfaction one gets from having the home made ones is unbeatable. Try it! So much fun to make and share with friends and family.  I just wish I had learnt it way earlier that's all!



Ingredients: 
5 oz butter
2 1/2 cup icing sugar
200 gm cooking chocolate
2 tbsp milk
1/2 cup roasted peanuts

Method:   Dry roast peanuts in a pan till lightly roasted but not browned. When peanuts cool a little rub with your fingers and loosen and then  discard skin. In a tsp of butter fry peanuts lightly and keep aside. Break cooking chocolate into small bits.  Line an 8X8 square tin with butter paper and lightly grease it. Let the butter paper overhang the tin

In a  non stick or heavy bottom pan add  butter, icing sugar, cooking chocolate, milk and peanuts. Cook over low to medium heat till the butter and chocolate melt and everything is well mixed.   Do not over cook.  Pour into the prepared tin.  Let it cool a little and then chill in the fridge.When it is set, lift out the chocolate from the tin by holding the butter paper. Cut in squares and store in airtight container in the  fridge.

You can use chocolate of your choice...dark chocolate or milk chocolate.  Alter sugar according to taste.
