Peanut Butter and Chocolate are just 2 of my taste addictions. These truffles are fantastic, better than the peanut butter cups I used to devour while I was growing up. Ingredients:
12 ounces best-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits |
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter |
2 teaspoons vanilla |
1/2 cup finely chopped salted peanuts, about |
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan combine the chocolate, cream, butter and peanut butter and heat over moderate heat, stirring, until chocolate is completely melted.
2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
3. Transfer to a bowl and chill for 4 hours, or until firm.
4. Form mixture by heaping teaspoons into balls and roll lightly in peanuts.
5. Chill on a baking sheet lined with wax paper for 1 hour, or until firm.
6. Keep in an airtight container, chilled, for up to 2 weeks.
