- Create the Balls:
Over the cookie and peanut mixture, drizzle the cooled cocoa mixture. - Until all ingredients are well blended, thoroughly mix.
- To keep your hands from sticking, lubricate them with vegetable oil.
- Create little balls out of the mixture that are roughly the size of walnuts.
- Transfer the balls to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- To firm up, refrigerate for one hour.
- Coat with Chocolate: Melt the dark and milk chocolates with the vegetable oil in a double boiler in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Make sure every cookie ball is completely covered by dipping it into the melting chocolate.
- Back on the baking sheet covered with parchment, place the balls coated in chocolate.
- Add a garnish and relax:
- As a garnish, sprinkle the leftover chopped peanuts over the tops of the coated balls.
- To set the chocolate, put the tray in the fridge for twenty minutes.
