Preparation time: 3 h 40 min

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup prepared caramel
9 oz at least 50% high-quality milk baking chocolate
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp table salt
1/2 cup very finely chopped peanuts

Assembly:
Finely chop baking chocolate and set aside.
If your caramel has not been freshly prepared, reheat it on the stovetop until it's smooth and melting.
Add the chocolate, salt, vanilla, and peanut butter to your hot, melted caramel mixture and let stand for 5 minutes.
Gently whisk the mixture together until chocolate and peanut butter have melted completely and the mixture is very smooth.
Let cool to room temperature, then cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls by hand and place on a lined baking sheet.
Roll balls into finely chopped peanuts to coat thoroughly.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator on the lined baking sheet for 1 hour more.
Serve at room temperature.
