Instructions:
Step 1:
Line a mold with parchment paper on all sides, then grease it with some oil.
Step 2:
In a pan, add 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1/4 cup of water. Place over medium heat and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes while continuously stirring. To test if it’s done, put a bit of the mixture in water. If it turns like gum, it’s ready.
Step 3:
Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the mixture and let it melt. Next, add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix well, then remove from heat.
Step 4:
Add a pinch of salt then mix well. Next, add 2 and 1/2 cups of peanuts. Mix well until they are fully coated with the mixture. It will become very sticky.
Step 5:
Wear a glove, then grease it with oil. Press the peanuts on the bottom of the mold. Cover with plastic wrap and let it cool at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Step 6:
Break the dark chocolate into pieces and place into a bowl. Melt in a bain-marie or in the microwave. Once melted, pour the chocolate on top of the peanuts. Spread evenly using a spatula. Place in the refrigerator and let it chill for 30 minutes.
Step 7:
Remove from the mold and take off the parchment paper. Slice into pieces, then drizzle some chocolate on top. Serve and enjoy!
