Directions

1. 1. Prepare the Peanuts
      • Coarsely chop 200g of roasted peanuts in a food processor or with a knife.

1. 1. Crush the Cookies
      • Coarsely grind the Biscoff cookies in a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

   3. Assemble the Mixture
      • • In a bowl, combine the chopped peanuts, crushed cookies, and melted chocolate mixture.
        • Spread the mixture evenly in a 28 cm × 18 cm baking dish lined with parchment paper.

   4. Chill the Mixture
