Lisa's Homemade Chocolate Covered Peanuts
"This is so easy and so impressive. The taste is fantastic. The texture is smooth and creamy. The flavor depends on the quality of chips you buy but the kids enjoy the store brand (cheap ones) the best They make great teacher gifts, if you package them up nicely."

Fair warning: these are SUPER dangerous to make and keep at home. Seriously, you'll be addicted. They're so good! And the best part is that they're so easy to make but taste like something out of a candy shop! -
I am in the process of making these now. Although they are easier than the crockpot recipe I have, there's too much of a butterscotch flavor, in my opinion. The crockpot recipe calls for equal parts semi sweet and butterscotch chips, which I think is much better.

Add a small package of chow mein noodles and you have haystacks...even more crunchy and delicious. -
I tried to make this tonight, but the process of preparing the chips was not successful. I first used the microwave, low setting and long time to melt. It got dry and so I had to improvise and add some shortening and milk to get it easier to stir before I added the peanuts. It did not turn out anything like the picture. Can you tell me where I went wrong. Used semi-sweet chips, and butterscotch chips. Thanks
