Choc Peanut Shortbread

I'm so glad that my daughter do not have an allergic to the peanut, in some case the children are dead because of this problem. So she can have this for her snack with me :)

Its quite easy making this shortbread, i got the recipe from Australian Table magazine, November 2006 edition ( the month that Ellyn was born), so i kept that recipe for 2 years because i couldn't do any cooking that time, and i just remember the recipe last week, when i open my recipe file.

Here is the recipe...
