Chocolate Peanutty Swirls
Creamy chocolate and peanut butter swirls that are perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and making quick, delicious treats for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 8 oz. chocolate flavored candy coating
- 1/2 cup peanut butter flavored morsels ⓘ

- Place candy coating in a small microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave at high for 1 minute or until the coating melts, stirring once.
- Set aside.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother consistency, ensure your microwave is set to medium power when melting the candy coating. If you don’t have peanut butter flavored morsels, regular chocolate chips can be used as a substitute, but the flavor will differ. If the coating hardens before you use it, simply reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds to soften.
Serving Suggestions
These Chocolate Peanutty Swirls make a delightful treat on their own or can be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert. They also pair beautifully with Great Strawberry Punch for a festive gathering. For a creative twist, try drizzling some Buttermilk Sauce over the swirls before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Chocolate Peanutty Swirls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. To maintain their texture, avoid refrigeration. If you need to reheat them, do so in short intervals in the microwave on low power, checking frequently to prevent overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use dark chocolate instead of chocolate flavored candy coating?
Yes, dark chocolate can be used as a substitute for the candy coating. Just ensure you melt it carefully to avoid burning. The flavor will be richer, which can enhance the overall taste of the swirls.
How can I make these swirls more visually appealing?
To enhance the presentation, consider drizzling some melted white chocolate over the swirls after they set. You can also sprinkle chopped nuts or colorful sprinkles on top for added texture and visual appeal.
Are these swirls suitable for special diets?
These swirls are not inherently gluten-free or dairy-free, but you can find specialty chocolate coatings and peanut butter morsels that cater to those dietary needs. Always check labels to ensure compliance with your specific dietary restrictions.
