Chocolate Covered Peanut Bites


This dessert is like it sounds - chocolate covered peanuts in bite-size portions!

But if that doesn't sound very exciting, don't underestimate the power of simplicity.

See, I'm not a huge peanut fan myself, but they tasted really good covered in chocolate. So if you're looking for an easy dessert that also tastes amazing, why not give these a try? 

Mmm...
