How to Make Nutty Good Bars

Line an 11x17 inch shallow baking tray with parchment paper (wax paper works too).
Melt 12 ounces of Guittard chocolate morsels in a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally until completely smooth. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 cup of salted peanuts. Mix gently until combined.
Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared tray and spread evenly using a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are completely set.
Once set, lift the bars from the tray using the parchment paper, break into pieces, and store in an airtight container at room temperature.
