Eggless peanut butter cookie dough coated in milk chocolate is our new take on the winning duo of peanut butter and chocolate. Try using virgin or extra-virgin coconut oil in the coating-peanut butter, chocolate and coconut is a winning trio!

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     dessert

Time 2h10m

Yield about 18 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2/3 cup chunky peanut butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 tablespoon plain yogurt
1/2 teaspoon nonalcoholic vanilla extract
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening or coconut oil

Steps:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degree F. Sift in a medium bowl, then whisk in the baking powder and salt (see Cook's Note).
  • Beat the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (Turn off the mixer and use your hands to help combine if needed.)
  • Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough, and roll them into smooth balls. Put them on the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the coating is smooth and thin. Drop the chilled balls into the coating, and roll them around with a fork to fully coat. Remove each truffle with the fork, letting any excess coating drip off, and return to the baking sheet. (If the coating begins to harden, microwave it for a few seconds to warm it up and thin it out.) Chill the truffles until the coating is completely set, about 1 hour. (The truffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)

PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES



Peanut Butter Truffles image

These are my family's favourite holiday treat. Where we live the kids call them "Moose Droppings", but don't let that keep you from trying them...they are decadent! Cook time is the time it takes to dip them in the chocolate.

Provided by Kitchen Queen

Categories     Candy

Time 50m

Yield 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 -3 cups dipping chocolate, wafers melted in a double boiler (available at most bulk food stores)

Steps:

  • Mix the first four ingredients together well.
  • Shape into 1 inch balls.
  • Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet to set.
  • *I find the balls easier to dip when they are frozen or at least cold.
  • I make the balls one day, pop them in the freezer and take them out a few at a time to dip-- this keeps them from being too soft to dip.
  • *If you can't find dipping wafers, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips melted with 1/3 grated parowax (yes, parowax is edible!).

CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES



CHOCOLATE-PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES image

Categories     Candy     Chocolate     Dessert

Yield 30 truffles

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup heavy cream
10 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, ground

Steps:

  • 1. In a double boiler, melt chocolate and cream until smooth. Whisk in the peanut butter. Spread mixture into a 9" pan or pie plate. Refrigerate until hard, at least 1 hour to overnight. 2. Place the ground peanuts in a shallow dish. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out 30 heaping spoonfuls of truffle mixture. Place them in a single layer on the prepared sheet. When all scoops have been made, lightly roll them between your palms to give them a nice round shape. If at any point the chocolate gets too warm, making the truffles too difficult to roll, refrigerate for 30 minutes until it firms up. 3. Roll the truffles, a few at a time, in the ground peanuts. Press peanuts gently into truffles to get them to stick. Store in wax-paper lined container, separating layers with wax paper. Cover tightly and freeze.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter. This will give your truffles a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Chill the peanut butter and cream cheese before using. This will make it easier to work with and will help the truffles set properly.
  • Don't overmix the truffle mixture. Overmixing can make the truffles tough.
  • Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or chopped nuts before serving. This will give them a nice finishing touch and add extra flavor.
  • Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Peanut butter truffles are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make these delicious truffles that are sure to be a hit. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
