- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Ingredients to finish muffins
- 1/2 cup butter

- In a hot skillet with the icing sugar, cook the peanuts so as to coat them with a thin layer of caramel.
- Transfer to a baking sheet to cool them down.
- Separate your egg yolks and whites, keep the yolks in the fridge and the whites at room temperature.
- Grease the cooking molds with soy butter and then sprinkle with white sugar. Gently shake them to remove excess sugar.
