Seeing as Valentine was around the corner, I decided to indulge myself. And poison all my Japanese schoolmates. I am such a cute person muahaha.
I took this change to futher explore the sweet sweet heaven called ' peanutbutter combined with dark chocolate '. One day exploring the internet for interesting recipes, I bumped into this recipe:
If you are to lazy to look it up, it is... PEANUTBUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLE! I know you are drooling.
Seeing as I had most of the ingredients already in stock, I pulled out my beloved jar of peanutbutter and started throwing it in a bowl!
Here is the list of ingredients with converted measurements. I also put in a little less brown sugar and used chunky peanutbutter. I just love my nuts!
130 gr peanutbutter with chunks
60 gr melted butter
85 gr brown sugar
1 theelepel vanilla extract
62,5 gr all-purpose flour
1/8 theelepel salt
182 gr dark chocolate chips (or finely chopped dark chocolate bar)
250 gr dark chocolate for the outer layer
whatever chocolate you want for decoration (use imagination and food coloring =D )
You just start with throwing peanutbutter, butter, sugar and extract in a bowl!
Oh it smells so sweet and good... And then you stir.
Still hungry?
But just throw in salt and flour, stir well and add the chocolate. And then you have to exert some selfcontrol and not start eating already.Shape the dough a bit smaller you want your truffle to be. I would say nickle size for a small bite and big marble size (from when you were still a child!) for the big loving.
Now you need to exert a bit of self-control when letting them chill for several hours in the fridge. Make yourself a nice meal, watch some tv. Or throw them in the freezer for 20 minutes and make yourself a madame croque!
When you are done cleaning up the mess you made for lunch/dinner, you can start melting the dark chocolate. Just use the microwave and stir every 40 sec. Also, I can recommend not melting everything at once. The dipping takes some time, so you need to reheat the chocolate every once and a while. You never know what might go wrong! (it can turn bad) And start dipping
And after adding the decorating you will have a big big plate of delicious, finger-eating truffles!
