So fathers day was last weekend and I was pretty stumped on what to get/do for my dad. We always have a lot of chocolate around the house….and peanut butter. So these truffles were the perfect gift.
Truffles are great! They are so easy to make and super QUICK to make. You can also be very versatile with your decorations. There are many great wrapping ideas on the internet. One of my favorites would be a pretty box with colorful tissue paper and ribbon.
Ingredients:
– 10 oz. semi sweet chocolate
– 8 oz. cream cheese
– 2 tablespoons peanut butter
* An optional addition would be rum. My dad loves rum balls. This makes the recipe super smooth.
Method:
1. Melt chocolate in a double boiler
2. Mix cream cheese for 2 minutes or until smooth
3. Mix chocolate and peanut butter together and pour over the cream cheese. Mix together thoroughly.
4. Spread mixture in to a pan. Place in a fridge for a couple of hours.
5. Afterwards, use an ice cream scoop or spoon to make small balls of truffles. Then roll them in whatever toppings you’d like.
I used almond bits, Cocoa powder and chocolate sprinkles. Some other popular toppings would be icing sugar or peanuts.
