Ingredients

¹/₂ cup Land O Lakes® Butter

1 (12-ounce) package (2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips

²/₃ cup sugar

3 large Land O Lakes® Eggs

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

¹/₄ teaspoon salt

1 ³/₄ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup finely chopped dry roasted peanuts

48 caramel-filled chocolate candy pieces

How to make

STEP 1

Combine butter and chocolate chips in 2-quart saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, 6-8 minutes or until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; set aside. Cool 30 minutes.
STEP 2

Add sugar, eggs, vanilla and salt to chocolate mixture; stir until well mixed. Add flour; stir until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate 4 hours or overnight until firm.
STEP 3

Heat oven to 325°F.
STEP 4

Place chopped peanuts into bowl. Shape rounded teaspoonfuls of dough into 1 1/4-inch balls. (Dust hands with powdered sugar, if necessary.) Roll balls in peanuts, pressing gently so they stick to dough. Place, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 11-13 minutes or until slightly firm to the touch.
STEP 5

Immediately top each cookie with chocolate candy; cool 1 minute. Remove to cooling racks. Cool completely.
