2 tablespoons of cream
1 tablespoon of water
4 teaspoons of chopped peanuts

Directions

  3. Let cool.
  4. In the top of a double boiler, combine the chocolate, cream and water. Heat slowly, then stir to smooth. Spoon ½ tsp of the chocolate ganache onto each cookie. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
