These Blarney Stones are a classic sweet treat made from soft pound cake cubes dipped in vanilla frosting and rolled in chopped peanuts. Crunchy, creamy, and irresistibly delicious, they’re perfect for parties, holidays, or an easy homemade dessert.

Ingredients

2 cups powdered sugar

1/2 cup milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups dry roasted peanuts, finely chopped

1 pound cake, cut into bite-size cubes

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth and thin enough to drizzle. Stir in vanilla extract.
  2. Place chopped peanuts in a shallow dish and line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  3. Dip each pound cake cube into the frosting, ensuring it’s evenly coated, then roll it in the chopped peanuts until completely covered.
  4. Place coated cubes on the wax paper and let them sit for a few minutes until the frosting firms up slightly. Serve once set or store for later.

Notes

Use pecans, almonds, or walnuts instead of peanuts for variation.

Swap vanilla extract for almond or lemon extract for a different flavour.

For a chocolate version, whisk melted chocolate or cocoa into the frosting.

Roll in sprinkles or shredded coconut instead of nuts for a festive touch.

Store at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate up to 5 days.
