Melt the chocolate and butter in a double boiler. Beat the eggs, sugar, and ginger until fluffy, then stir in the chocolate-butter mixture. Combine the flour, salt, cocoa, and baking powder, fold into the dough along with the peanuts, and let it rise for 10 minutes. On a floured surface, shape the dough into two logs, place them on a baking sheet lined with baking paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 20-25 minutes. Then remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, cut into 1.5cm-thick slices, return these to the baking sheet, and finish baking at 100°C for about 25 minutes.
