Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Recipe

Its been a little while since I've made these and promised the recipe, so I apologize for the delay. These were an excellent foray into chocolate making, which is a lot harder to do nicely than it looks. The only thing I would have changed is the choice of chocolate, as I chose bittersweet when I should have chose milk chocolate. Next time...

What I used:

Filling:
1 c peanut butter
60 g unsalted peanut butter
1/4 c brown sugar
1 cup powdered sugar

Coating:
300 g chocolate chips, milk would be best

How it's done:

Start melting butter in a medium sized sauce pan until it's melted, then add the peanut butter and brown sugar.
Allow to simmer on low for about 30 seconds stirring constantly then remove from the heat.
Sift in the powdered sugar a quarter cup at a time and mix it into the filling until its thoroughly combined before adding the next addition.
Put in a container and chill for about an hour.
Make quarter sized balls out of the filling, chill again for 30 minutes.
Using the double boiler method, heat the chocolate until it's melted and smooth. I turned off the heat but left it on the hot pan with water to keep it easy to work with.
Using a fork to roll it around and eventually fish it out, coat the balls in chocolate and set on a plate or pan line with parchment paper.
Allow to chill in the freezer for about a half hour before removing from the sheet and packing them. They'll last a long time in the fridge and I wouldn't advise keeping them outside of the fridge for very long, especially here in Acapulco.

Yay I was looking forward to you posting the recipe! Thank you so much @lily-da-vine. These will be the next truffles I will be making. :)

Looks delicious. Do you have to be super accurate to make the chocolate work? I'm bad about getting instructions perfectly right sometimes :-)

I would say no but mine were not stable at room temperature AT ALL. I'm a noob :D

However, the chocolate will taste delicious regardless, I assure you.

I have always been a softy for chocolate and peanut butter together. I have had it in pie at the casino buffet. It looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.

will like to try it:)

Hey look at it this way, everyone's on a diet of some sort :P you're not alone.
