Hell no. Blanching means boil your water first, then dunk them for a minute, or in the case of peas a few seconds, then dunk immediately into ice water. You're killing off enzymes, not cooking them.

You can freeze them coated or uncoated.I've done both - they sweat when removed from the freezer - best to serve them straight away.If dipping after being frozen, I just roll them around on a paper towel first so there is no moisture (and therefore chocolate doesn't seize).
