Yield Makes about 80

Number Of Ingredients 6

10 ounces semisweet chocolate (do not exceed 61% cacao), chopped
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups chopped Butterfinger candy bars (about 8 ounces)
4 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Chopped roasted unsalted peanuts or peanut halves

Steps:

  • Place chocolate and butter in a medium bowl. Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan; pour hot cream over chocolate mixture. Let stand for 1 minute, then stir until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Stir in chopped candy. Cover and chill until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Using a melon baller, scoop 3/4" balls (or heaping teaspoonfuls) from chocolate mixture. Roll truffles between your palms to make surface smooth. Place on the prepared sheet.
  • Place cocoa powder in a small bowl. Roll truffles in cocoa powder to coat. Garnish with chopped peanuts or peanut halves. Chill until firm. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store airtight between sheets of waxed paper. Keep chilled.

These truffles are the perfect treat for a peanut butter lover. They're rich, chocolatey, and oh-so-peanut-buttery.

Overall, I thought these truffles were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The chocolate coating on these truffles was a bit too thick for my liking. I would have preferred a thinner coating.

I was a bit disappointed with these truffles. The peanut butter filling was too sweet for my taste.

I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter, but I really enjoyed these truffles. The chocolate coating is the perfect balance for the peanut butter filling.

The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is always a winner. These truffles are no exception.
