Ingredients

2 cups confectioners' sugar
0.5 cup milk, or as needed
1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups dry roasted salted peanuts, finely chopped
1 pound cake, cut into bize-size cubes

Instructions

In a bowl, pour the confectioners' sugar. Slowly incorporate the milk, whisking continually, achieving a thin frosting consistency. Then, whisk in the vanilla extract to complete the frosting.
Prepare for coating by placing the chopped peanuts in a separate bowl. Cover a flat surface or plate with waxed paper to prevent sticking.
Dip each pound cake cube into the prepared frosting, ensuring full coverage. Immediately roll the frosted cube in chopped peanuts. Set the coated Blarney Stone on the waxed paper to dry. Repeat this process with all remaining pound cake pieces.
