Add roasted peanuts to a large bowl along with maple syrup, butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown, by dropping mixture by tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.
After five minutes, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool.
The chocolate chips and shortening should be combined in a small microwave-safe bowl.
Stir between each 30-second microwave interval until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
After dipping each one in chocolate, place them back on the baking sheet so that the chocolate can harden.
To prevent stale snacking, store the snack in an airtight container at room temperature.
