Chocolate “Thingies”

So, this morning I was doing some searching for a recipe to post before I get to work. I found these Chocolate Thingies and I think they are so clever and easy, not to mention the name is just too cute.

They seem pretty simple with just 4 ingredients: semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, shoestring potato chips, and salted peanuts…Yum!

Maple-Glazed Peanuts and Bacon

Recipe:  The Readhead, NYC

Yield:  About 3 cups

3 sliced very thick bacon

1 tablespoon thyme leaves, minced

1 tablespoon Kosher salt

¾ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning

½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

½ teaspoon dry mustard

3 cups unsalted roasted peanuts (about 1 pound)

½ cup pure maple syrup

Preheat oven to 325°.  In a medium skillet, cook the bacon over moderate heat until crisp.  Transfer to paper towels to drain, then finely chop.  In a medium bowl, mix the thyme, salt, Old Bay, cayenne, and dry mustard.  Add the peanuts, maple syrup, and bacon and toss until the peanuts are evenly coated.  Scrape the nuts onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring once, until the maple syrup has thickened.  Let the peanuts cool completely, stirring frequently to break up any large clumps.  Transfer the peanuts to glass jars or a large bowl and serve.
