Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles
Ingredients:
1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
2 cups (200 g) crushed graham crackers or digestive biscuits
1/4 cup (60 g) butter, melted
1/2 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
1 cup (200 g) dark chocolate, melted
1/4 cup (50 g) chopped peanuts (for coating)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Filling:
In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until a dough-like consistency forms.
2. Shape the Truffles:
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes until firm.
3. Coat with Chocolate:
Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
4. Add the Topping:
Immediately sprinkle chopped peanuts over the truffles while the chocolate is still wet.
5. Set the Truffles:
Return the truffles to the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for another 20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
6. Serve:
Arrange the truffles on a plate and enjoy as a decadent treat or gift them in a decorative box!
Notes:
You can substitute dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate for variation.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
