Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles
Thursday, December 13, 2012
Recipe adapted from an old church cookbook.
The ingredients:
BARS:
1-1/4 cups creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
3 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
COATING:
1 pkg. (12-oz.) milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate or white chips (for drizzling in a contrasting color)
DIRECTIONS: Beat 1-1/4 cups peanut butter and butter in a large mixing bowl until creamy. Gradually beat in 1 cup powdered sugar.
With wooden spoon, work in remaining powdered sugar, and graham cracker crumbs.
Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm (about 1/2 hour).
In a microwave safe bowl, melt milk chocolate chips for about 90-seconds, stirring every 30-seconds until melted and smooth. Immediately dip cold truffles and place on wax-paper lined baking sheet.
Place in the fridge and allow chocolate to harden (about 10 minutes). Melt the semi-sweet, dark or white chips in the same manner as the milk chocolate. Then with a fork drizzle the truffles with contrasting chocolate.
Allow chocolate to harden and enjoy! Store in a covered container in the fridge. Makes 4-5 dozen 1-inch truffles.
Enjoy!

Wow! These look like they should be in a Godiva box. :)
When do you put in the vanilla extract?
I made some of these for the office Christmas "baked goods" day. Suffice it to say, these are pretty incredible, and everyone else in the office thought so too.
These look delicious--they would be a hit at our home!
Have a wonderful holiday season!
