Production of a chocolate peanut rock … or in this case Mountain!

We also wanted to pimp a snack and we noticed nobody has ever tried to pimp a chocolate peanut rock. So our mission was to pimp a chocolate peanut rock into a chocolate peanut mountain!

We started our pimp with 25 chocolate bars and 19 bags of unsalted peanuts:

Rows of supermarket milk chocolate bars laid out beside a dozen bags of salted peanuts

Step 1: Melting some chocolate…

Step 2: Melting some more chocolate!

Chocolate bars melting in a large pan over a bain-marie, stirred with a wooden spoon

Step 3: Adding the peanuts around 50/50 with the chocolate.

Peanuts stirred into the melted chocolate in a saucepan, discarded foil wrappers piled behind

Step 4: Birth of the Mountain!

Step 5: Melting MORE chocolate.

Step 6: MORE PEANUTS! You can’t have enough peanuts 😉

Step 7: Check the quality of the substance.

Step 8: Rise of the Mountain.

The peanut and chocolate mixture tipped out of the bowl onto a foil-covered table

Step 9: At this point the Mountain couldn’t grow higher without any support.. in this case we used towels.

Step 10: We put the mountain in the fridge to make it solid as a rock 😉

The mixture spread in a foil sling propped on towels, setting inside the fridge

Step 11: The next day we removed all the aluminium foil.

Step 12: Melting moooore chocolate and adding peanuts to reach our goal of 10kg.

Step 13: Modelling the Mountain to its final state.

AND THERE IT IS…. THE ONE AND ONLY CHOCOLATE PEANUT “ROCKY MOUNTAIN!” 😉
