Blarney Stones are a delicious dessert that originated in Ireland. They are a type of pastry made with cake flour and heavy cream, which gives them a light, cake-like texture. The dessert is named after the Blarney Castle in Ireland, which is famous for the Blarney Stone - a stone that is said to give people the gift of gab when they kiss it. The stones are dipped in a sweet glaze and coated in finely chopped peanuts, giving them a crunchy and flavorful coating. Blarney Stones are perfect as a snack or as an appetizer for a party.

6.Dip each Blarney Stone into the glaze mixture and then roll in the finely chopped peanuts until coated.
