- 1. Melt chocolate chips and butterscotch chips with vegetable oil in microwave a minute at a time and stir up and stop when mixture is smooth. Then add peanuts and stir well.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the chocolate-covered peanuts will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, rich flavor.
- Roast the peanuts before coating them in chocolate. Roasting the peanuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
- Temper the chocolate. Tempering the chocolate will help it set properly and give it a smooth, glossy finish.
- Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the chocolate. A double boiler is the best way to melt chocolate because it prevents it from overheating. If you're using a microwave, melt the chocolate in short bursts, stirring in between, until it is melted and smooth.
- Coat the peanuts in chocolate using a fork or spoon. You can also use a candy mold to coat the peanuts in chocolate.
- Let the chocolate-covered peanuts cool and harden. You can let them cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
- Store the chocolate-covered peanuts in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Chocolate-covered peanuts are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
