Whiskey Peanut Bites

Not for the children of the household or for the faint of heart, be prepared for the delicious combination of whiskey and chocolate to have you dance the jig. Literally.
Lower the amount of whiskey if you’re feeling cautious, as it is somewhat strong.

Whiskey Peanut Chocolate Bites

1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (90 ml) whiskey
1 1/4 cups (150 g) powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups (219 g) nondairy semisweet chocolate chips, melted and cooled
1 cup (146 g) vegan dry roasted unsalted peanuts, chopped

Line an 8-inch (20-cm) square baking pan with parchment or wax paper.
Combine whiskey and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in peanuts and melted chocolate.
Place in the prepared baking pan, level with a spatula or with an extra piece of parchment paper.
Place the pan in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Remove block of candy from the pan. Peel off parchment paper. Cut or break block of candy in the size you want.

  • Allo! I made this with rum and cashews instead of whiskey and peanuts. It was my first fudge experiment, and I think it was a good way to start. Only… it’s a bit “rummy”. I think I remember my home ec properly, but just to be sure, T = tablespoon, correct? If it was supposed to be teaspoon, then I put in three times more rum than I was supposed to, which would explain things… Otherwise, that’s just a fudge with a kick.

    Thanks!

    I’ve never used any type of whiskey in cooking before– but after reading these reviews, apparently it’s delish. I have to ask… it is safe for children, right? I mean surely it isn’t a 21 and up recipe–hahaha (i know I know I had to be “that girl”..)
