Ingredients:
- 12 chocolate chip cookies
- Unsalted peanuts
- Salted peanuts
- Caramel
- Hershey’s chocolate
Instructions:
-
Prepare Ingredients: Begin by setting aside the peanuts in a bowl. Ensure you have both unsalted and salted peanuts ready.
-
-
Melt Caramel: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramel until it’s smooth and creamy. This can typically be done in short intervals, stirring in between, to avoid burning.
-
Melt Chocolate: Similarly, melt the Hershey’s chocolate in a separate bowl until it’s smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize.
-
Assembly:
- Take a chocolate chip cookie and dip it generously into the semi-cooled caramel. This ensures that the cookie gets coated with a thick layer of caramel, allowing the peanuts to adhere better.
- Immediately after dipping into the caramel, roll the cookie in the peanuts, ensuring they stick evenly to the caramel-coated surface.
- Place the cookies on a piece of waxed or parchment paper to prevent sticking.
-
Cooling: Allow the cookies to cool until the caramel and peanuts are set. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes at room temperature, or you can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator for 5-10 minutes.
-
Final Chocolate Coating: Once the caramel and peanuts are set, dip each cookie into the melted Hershey’s chocolate, covering them completely. This final chocolate layer adds a decadent finish to the cookies.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Your Chocolate Chip Cookie Turtle treats are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them as a delightful dessert or snack for any occasion.
Tips:
- Be cautious when melting the caramel and chocolate in the microwave to avoid burning. Use short intervals and stir frequently.
- For extra flavor, consider using flavored caramel or different types of nuts, such as almonds or pecans.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, although they’re likely to disappear much faster than that!
