Peanut Butter Gianduja
**************************

Makes : 14 squares

Ingredients :

• 100 gm.  white chocolate, coarsely chopped
• 100 gm.  creamy peanut butter
• 100 gm.  dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
• Peanuts, optional

Method :

• Line a small baking pan with foil or parchment paper, leaving some extra paper hanging over the edges or lightly grease the insides of each candy molds / Ice cube tray.
• Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave, stirring well after 30 second or sit the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and is smooth.
• Remove from the heat and add the peanut butter, mix together until it is well combined.
• Pour the mixture into prepared pan / molds. Place in the freezer until the filling is firm.
• Now place the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave, stirring well after 30 second or sit the bowl over a pan of gently simmering water. Stir occasionally until the chocolate has melted and is smooth. Remove from the heat.
• Line a small baking sheet or tray with parchment paper; keep aside.
• Take out the set filling from the freezer, remove the foil or parchment paper. With a sharp knife, cut it into squares ( Remove the squares from the molds ).
• Just work with few squares at a time so that the filling stays as cold as possible. Place remaining squares back in the freezer.
• With the help of a fork, dip each square into melted dark chocolate one at a time. Gently tap fork on edge of bowl to remove excess chocolate, make sure that all sides are coated well with the chocolate.
• Place carefully on to lined tray. Place a peanut half on the top of each square, if using.
• Continue this process, until all squares are coated in chocolate. If chocolate gets too thick, reheat it slightly.
• Place the tray in the refrigerator until chocolate is completely set.
• Wrap chocolates in foil or candy wrappers and store in cool, dry place. Store them in the refrigerator in summer.
