Servings: 4 servings

8 ounces unsweetened baker's chocolate (look for the orange box in the baking aisle)
1/2 cup brown rice syrup or pure maple syrup
1/2 cup honey
1 dash kosher or sea salt
2 cups roasted peanuts (any type of nuts will work here)
1 tablespoon oil (unrefined coconut oil or canola oil)

Begin by breaking the 8 ounces unsweetened baker's chocolate into small chunks and placing them in a double boiler or a microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
In a separate bowl, mix together the 1/2 cup brown rice syrup or pure maple syrup, 1/2 cup honey, and a dash of kosher or sea salt. Stir until well combined.
Incorporate the 1 tablespoon oil into the melted chocolate, stirring until fully combined. This will help achieve a glossy finish on your chocolate-covered peanuts.
Add the 2 cups roasted peanuts to the chocolate mixture, stirring gently until they are thoroughly coated.
Using a fork or a slotted spoon, lift the chocolate-covered peanuts from the bowl, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Arrange them in a single layer on the lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has set completely.
