DOUBLE CHOC PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180c/160 fan/gas mark 4 and line two baking trays with parchment. Using a food mixer or electric whisk beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add in the egg and whisk to combine then beat in the flour, cocoa powder, salt and chocolate chunks until fully incorporated. Using a spoon swirl the peanut butter through the cookie dough.
• Scoop the dough into 12 large cookies onto the two trays using a dessert spoon, leaving plenty of room between each cookie as they'll spread. Bake in the oven for 9-10 mins until still soft and melty in the middle. They will look underbaked but will harden once cool. Drizzle over the melted milk chocolate and top with a few chopped peanuts and a pinch of flaky sea salt. Serve with a glass of milk for dunking.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE SALTED PEANUT BARK

Steps:

• Place a layer of parchment or wax paper on a cookie sheet. Set aside.
• Melt the milk chocolate. You can use a double broiler or the microwave. I'm a microwave gal when it comes to melting chocolate - it's a little easier, and I tend to be more successful. Put the chips in a microwave bowl, and heat on 50% power for one minute. Stir for about 30 seconds, then heat at 50% in 15 second intervals until melted. When they're hot enough, they'll still have little chippy lumps that'll go away while you're stirring.
• Spread the chocolate on the covered cookie sheet, about 1/4 inch thick.
• Sprinkle the peanuts on top, then lightly press them into the chocolate.
• Melt the dark chocolate. Start checking it at 30 seconds (again, 50% power) - it might melt faster than the milk chocolate did, because you've got less chips.
• Using a spoon, drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the milk chocolate and peanuts.
• If desired, sprinkle a little Fleur de Sel over the top for an extra little hit of salt.
• Let sit at room temperature until hard. This will take about an hour, sometimes a smidge more.
• Cut into squares. Eat. Enjoy!
