Enjoy these candies straight from the bag for an instant sweet and salty snack. For baking, they can be added whole to cookie dough or brownie batter, where they will soften and melt slightly during baking, creating pockets of chocolate and peanut. They can also be chopped and sprinkled over cakes, cupcakes, or pies as a decorative and flavorful topping. For an extra special treat, melt them down to create a rich chocolate sauce or drizzle.
