(please ignore my drier than ever hands)
I found this recipe for Homemade Peanut Butter Easter Eggs right around everyone's favorite candy holiday, they were immediately put on the top of my to-make list. I love Kristan over at Confessions of a Cookbook Queen, her recipes are always tempting and her pictures only make things look better than they sound!
Peanut Butter Truffles
18 sheets of graham crackers, very finely crushed
2 cups creamy peanut butter3/4 cup butter, softened
3 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
chocolate candy melts or bark
sprinkles or decorations
Line a baking sheet with wax paper, place in freezer for later use. In a large bowl, combine graham crackers, peanut butter, butter, and confectioners sugar. Mix at medium speed till all ingredients are incorporated. I ended up using my hands to get everything combined. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Place baking sheet back in the freezer for 45 minutes or until peanut butter balls are firm.
In a small bowl melt chocolate candy melts or bark according to package. Using a spoon cover peanut butter balls with chocolate one at a time. Tap the spoon on the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate and place balls back on frozen baking sheet. Decorate with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or leftover graham cracker crumbles and refrigerate till chocolate is set. Devour.
I used my food processor to crush the graham crackers. I used spring colored sprinkles, but I was thinking white chocolate coating with red, white, and blue sprinkles would be super cute for the upcoming holidays. Let me know if anyone tries this, I would love to see pictures!
Happy Baking!
So cool thanks for emailing me the link. Will be trying these at home for myself but i seriously doubt they will turn out as perfectly or as festive as these, though with chocolate, graham cracker, and peanut butter as the ingredients i personally could care less if they came out looking like delicious little turds.
ReplyDeleteThese look wonderful. I love all things chocolate and peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter truffles! I have an ancient recipe from Better Homes and Gardens that I have been using for years and it is very similar to yours, except for the Graham crackers. I like that addition. Aren't they really addictive? They look gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteOgni volta che vengo qua trovo una meraviglia.
ReplyDeleteSei molto brava.
Un bacio

ReplyDeleteHi there! This recipe seems really interesting. Could you please provide the "18 sheets of graham crackers" weight because I need to substitute (cannot find gc here in Greece) them. Thanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these! So cute. Saving this recipe for sure :)
ReplyDeletehey,I love your truffles!!!I did something just like them today, inspired by yours.Thank you and invite you to see them on my blog http://inbucatariecuaziz.blogspot.com/2011/06/peanut-butter-truffles.html
ReplyDeletei used to absolutely love these and haven't had them in ages! this post reminded me of what i've been missing out on- thanks!
ReplyDeleteI'm making these for my kids to give their friends. They are so yummy! I found a company online, Box and Wrap that has some really cute Easter cello bags. This will make a really nice treat to give!
ReplyDeleteHi, How many would you say you get from this recipe? I couldnt find the yield anywhere. Would love to try this!
ReplyDeleteI would say this makes around 2 dozen, but it really depends on how large you make the truffles. If you want more just make them a little smaller!
