I was asked to bring Blarney Stones to a St Patrick's Day party and I used this recipe. They turned out great and they were all eaten!

One Sara Lee pound cake made about 28 "stones." Once you add the icing and the crushed peanuts they end up much larger than they started out.

I used the recipe exactly as it was written except I melted a bag of butterscotch morsels and it drizzled on top. Then a put just a sprinkling of kosher rock salt on top for a little more salty/sweet contrast.

Give yourself am hour to make these plus an hour to let them set at room temperature. One other tip, if you don't have a food processor you can crush the peanuts in a regular blender on the nuts setting but don't try to do them all at once. Do just a cup at a time otherwise you'll end up with mushed peanut butter on the bottom in the blades and lots of still whole peanuts at the top of the pile that never made it down to the blades.
