Peanut Butter Truffles
Yield: Makes about 36 truffles
Ingredients:
2
cups (11-1/2 ounces) milk chocolate chips
1/2
cup whipping cream
2
tablespoons butter
1/2
cup creamy peanut butter
3/4
cup finely chopped peanuts
Preparation:
1.
Combine chocolate chips, whipping cream and butter in heavy, medium saucepan; melt over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add peanut butter; stir until blended. Pour into pie pan. Refrigerate about 1 hour or until mixture is fudgy but soft, stirring occasionally.
2.
Shape mixture by tablespoonfuls into 1-1/4-inch balls; place on waxed paper.
3.
Place peanuts in shallow bowl. Roll balls in peanuts; place in petit four or paper candy cups. (If peanuts won't stick because truffle has set, roll truffle between palms until outside is soft.)
4.
Truffles can be refrigerated 2 to 3 days or frozen several weeks.
Tip:
For a pretty contrast, roll some of the truffles in cocoa powder instead of chopped peanuts.
