About Chocolate-covered peanut

A chocolate-covered peanut is a peanut enclosed in a chocolate coating. The name identifies the central food and coating but does not specify the chocolate type, coating thickness, added ingredients, or whether the peanut is roasted or otherwise prepared.

It is commonly encountered as a confection or snack, with a firm or crisp centre and a chocolate outer layer. The coating may be smooth or textured, and the overall flavour and bite vary with the peanut preparation and chocolate formulation.
