Description

So easy … even a caveman can do it.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Semi-sweet Baking Chocolate (8 Squares)
  • ½ cups Peanut Butter
  • 1 tub Whipped Topping (8 Oz.), Thawed
  • ⅓ cups Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Microwave chocolate, on high for 1 minute, stir and microwave for another minute. Stir until chocolate is completely melted but make sure to stir between intervals and stop as soon as it’s smooth – otherwise it will scorch. Once chocolate is melted, stir in the peanut butter until well-combined. Cool to room temperature.

Then, carefully stir in the whipped topping until well-combined. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Once chilled, scoop chocolate/peanut butter mixture with a melon baller/cookie dough scoop/teaspoon and shape into 1″ balls. Roll in powdered sugar.

Store in fridge.

*Get creative with what you roll the truffles in! – crushed Oreos, sprinkles, crushed vanilla wafers, chopped nuts, toasted coconut flakes, grated chocolate, cocoa powder…

Not your usual truffle, but it was so creamy and delightful. The chocolate flavour was very prominent when I first made these and sampled them a few hours later. But after sitting for almost 24 hours the peanut butter really shines through! The only problem I had with this is the actual rolling of the truffles. I had to stick the mixture in the freezer for it to really harden up and I tried to roll it in the icing sugar but it just absorbed most of it. So I ended up rolling it in finely grated milk chocolate. Worked perfectly! Tastes great! Next time I’ll put the mixture in the freezer from the beginning. Thanks for the easy and yummy recipe.
