Notes
Chocolate: I like Enjoy Life brand of chocolate chips
Liners: You could also use cupcake liners to scoop them into (regular or mini) and then follow the rest of the same steps, line baking sheet place the cup cake liners on there, fill them ½ way and freeze until set.
Mix Ins: Feel free to mix it up and make some "rocky road" treats also by adding some mini marshmallows and maybe even some cinnamon graham cereal pieces. (If you add extra ingredients be sure to cut back on the amount of peanuts or increase the amount of chocolate)
Nuts: Other nuts that work well in place of or in addition to the peanuts would be almonds, walnuts or cashews.
