Ingredients

2 cups whipping cream
2 pounds white chocolate, melted
2 cups peanut butter
1 pound dark bittersweet chocolate
Crushed peanuts, for decoration

Directions

Scald cream in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and chill. Combine white chocolate and peanut butter together in a mixing bowl and blend together. Add chilled whipping cream and continue blending at high speed until a smooth consistency is achieved. Pour mixture into a suitable container and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours, to allow mixture to set.

Using a melon baller, or a number 70 scoop, form the mixture into balls. Place balls on a sheet pan and into the refrigerator to firm up.

Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler. Gently dip each ball in the melted chocolate so that it's fully coated. Decorate with crushed peanuts. Keep truffles in the refrigerator until required.

A Big HIt With Everyone
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This makes the best truffle, ever! This recipe made 100 truffles, using a mellon baller. I ended up using three 12 oz. bags... of chocolate for dipping. I used half bittersweet and half semi-sweet chocolate. I took these to a christmas eve party and everyone loved them. Makes the smoothiest/creamiest filling I have ever done. Very pleased!Read more
