Grandma Mottle's Blarney Stones image

Every St. Patrick's Day when we were growing up, my grandmother would have us over to make Blarney Stones, pound cake cubes dipped in frosting and rolled in dry roasted peanuts. This became a tradition we considered part of our Irish family heritage.

I found the dough to be a bit crumbly, but the cookies still turned out great. Will definitely make them again.

I've tried many Blarney Stone recipes, but this one is by far the best. The addition of the chocolate chips really takes them to the next level.
