Instructions

1. Prepare the liquid base: In a saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, and cocoa until smooth. Heat over medium, stirring, until almost boiling.

FAQs

• Best cookies to use?
  María, digestive, or any dry biscuit—try flavored varieties for a twist.

• Can I swap the peanuts?
  Yes! Walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts work well.

• Which chocolate is best?
  Dark for intensity, milk for sweetness, or white for a unique variation.

• Is the oil necessary?
  No, but it adds smoothness and shine. Without it, the coating will be thicker.

• Can I use butter instead of oil?
  No, butter may soften the chocolate too much.
