How to Make Peanut Butter Truffles

  1. Place 1 cup heavy cream in a wide, 2-quart saucepan over medium heat. Heat until it just begins to simmer.
  2. Remove from heat and immediately add 12 ounces of milk chocolate chips to the warm cream.
  3. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes to allow the heat to melt the chocolate.
  4. Stir very gently until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
  5. Stir in 1 cup creamy peanut butter until well blended.
  6. Pour the mixture into a shallow bowl and refrigerate until completely cool and firm enough to roll (at least 2 hours, preferably overnight).
  7. Finely chop 1/2 cup salted peanuts.
  8. Grate 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate using the largest holes of a box grater.
  9. In a medium bowl, gently toss the chopped peanuts and grated bittersweet chocolate together.
  10. Lightly coat your hands with cocoa powder to prevent sticking.
  11. Roll the chilled ganache into 3/4 to 1-inch balls.
  12. Toss the truffles in the chocolate-peanut coating to fully coat.
  13. Place the truffles in fluted paper cups or serve directly at room temperature. Enjoy!
