Ingredients For the caramel peanuts 50g/2oz caster sugar 1 tbsp water 2 tbsp salted peanut halves For the biscuits 250g/8oz unsalted butter 250g/8oz caster sugar 2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter 375g/12oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting For the salted peanut caramel filling 150g/5oz caster sugar 3 tbsp cold water 50ml/2fl oz double cream 50g/2oz unsalted butter, diced 1 tsp sea salt flakes 1 tbsp salted peanuts, chopped 75g/3oz dark chocolate, melted Preparation method For the caramel peanuts, lightly grease a non-stick baking tray and arrange the peanuts on the tray. Heat the sugar and water in a saucepan until the sugar melts and the mixture is boiling and golden-brown in colour (do not stir the caramel). Pour the caramel over the peanuts and set aside to harden. Once set, roughly chop the caramel peanuts and set aside. Meanwhile, for the biscuits, preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 4. Line two baking sheets with baking parchment. Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl, then beat in the peanut butter until well combined. Sift over the flour and stir until the mixture comes together as a dough. Cover the dough with cling film and chill in the fridge for 15 minutes. Roll the biscuit dough out onto a lightly floured surface and, using a biscuit cutter, cut out 24 biscuits. Place the biscuits onto the lined baking trays and chill for a further 15 minutes. Bake the biscuits in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden-brown. Remove the biscuits from the oven and set aside to cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely. For the salted peanut caramel filling, heat the sugar and water in a saucepan until the mixture is boiling and golden-brown in colour. Remove the pan from the heat and add the cream and butter. Stir until well combined. Return the pan to the heat and simmer for one minute. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sea salt and chopped, salted peanuts. Set aside to cool (make sure the filling mixture doesn’t harden completely). Use the salted peanut caramel filling to sandwich the biscuits together. Melt the chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the base of the bowl touch the water). Drizzle the melted chocolate over the biscuits then sprinkle over the caramel peanuts. Set aside until the chocolate has set, then serve.
