To compile, spread the peanut butter mixture in an even layer in a 1.5-quart (1.5-l) square casserole dish. Top with the warm chocolate mixture and spread to level. Pulse the peanuts in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade until coarsely chopped, or mash aggressively with a manual masher to break into coarse chunks. Sprinkle evenly over the top of the chocolate. Refrigerate overnight, covered. Before serving, cut into small squares with a sharp knife. Serve cold. |
