If you asked me what was my favorite candy/treat to make these would be it (today anyways! ha.) The creamy peanut butter just melts in your mouth. I prefer them dipped in white chocolate but milk chocolate is also wonderful. I usually do both. I made some and packaged them up in tins and delivered to neighbors and friends.
I also made these for my sisters bridal shower and my cousins bridal shower. Basically any excuse I can find to make them! I drizzled colored chocolate over the top to add color for the showers. These truffles freeze great. You can either freeze them with or with out the chocolate. I usually freeze them without the chocolate and dip them the day or 2 before I need them and then just store in the fridge.
I hope you all are having a happy holiday season and spending time with those you love!
Merry Christmas!
Peanut Butter Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 (7 ounce) jar marshmallow cream
- 1 (20 ounce) jar peanut butter
- 1½ cup butter, softened (3 cubes)
- 2 pounds powdered sugar
- vanilla almond bark or melting chocolate
Instructions
- Place the marshmallow cream, peanut butter and butter in a mixing bowl. Using the paddle attachment or hand mixer, combine. Slowly add the powdered sugar until combined and a dough forms.
- Form 1"- 1½" balls and place on a cookie sheet.
- Melt the chocolate according do the package directions.
- Drop the ball into the melted chocolate. Using a spoon, turn the ball to make sure it's all coated in the chocolate. Lift out of the chocolate with the front of the spoon. Tap a few times to get excess chocolate off and scraped the bottom of the spoon on the side of the dish. Place chocolate truffle on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
- Makes 70-80 truffles depending on the exact size of the balls you make.
These look so pretty! I love truffles and these sound so good with peanut and marshmallow cream! Thanks for sharing Adell 🙂
Is that suppose to be half a cup of butter or one and a half? Sounds like a lot if it is the latter so I thought I best ask lol.
It is 1 and a half cups of butter. (3 cubes) it is a lot of butter! But it's worth it I promise 🙂
OH I love the addition of marshmallow creme! These sound delicious, Adell! Thanks so much for joining us at Saturday Night Fever each week! So glad to have you 🙂
