# Instructions:
01 -
Use a rolling pin or food processor to crush the biscuits until crumbly. Toss them into a big bowl and mix with vanilla sugar (if you're using it), peanuts, cocoa, and regular sugar. Stir till it's all combined.
02 -
Put butter in a pan and melt it nice and slow. Stir in the cream next. Pour this wet blend over your dry ingredients, then mix it up thoroughly. If it’s too crumbly, splash in a bit more cream. Too sticky? Add extra biscuit crumbs.
03 -
Line a rectangle dish about 9×13 inches with parchment. Dump your biscuit mix in and press down evenly till it’s packed tight—use the back of a spoon or even a cup. Pop it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
04 -
Grab a bowl that’s safe for heat, toss in both chocolates, and melt them gently. Either place the bowl over simmering water on the stove or microwave in short intervals, stirring often. Once melted, mix in the vegetable oil for a silky finish.
05 -
Take the firm biscuit base out of the fridge and pour your melted chocolate mix over the top. Spread it out nice and smooth with a spatula. Right after, scatter your crushed peanuts all over. Back into the fridge it goes until firm—at least 1 hour.
06 -
Once it’s chilled and firm, lift everything out using the parchment paper. Cut squares or bars with a sharp knife. Want clean cuts? Wipe the knife blade after every slice.
# Notes:
01 -
Keep these stored in a fridge inside a sealed container for up to 1 week.
02 -
Wrap them thoroughly and freeze for up to 3 months if needed.
03 -
Bring to room temp for 10-15 minutes before eating for the best texture.
04 -
Biscuits like graham crackers, tea biscuits, or digestives work best.
