Surprise Peanut Butter Truffles Sp5 Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE DOUGH TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Microwave the flour in a small microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Microwave for an additional minute or until the temperature reaches 180 degree F. Sift in a medium bowl, then whisk in the baking powder and salt (see Cook's Note).
• Beat the peanut butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, yogurt and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until well combined, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture, and mix on low speed until well incorporated. (Turn off the mixer and use your hands to help combine if needed.)
• Scoop tablespoonfuls of the dough, and roll them into smooth balls. Put them on the prepared baking sheet, and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Melt the chocolate chips and shortening in a medium microwave-safe bowl in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the coating is smooth and thin. Drop the chilled balls into the coating, and roll them around with a fork to fully coat. Remove each truffle with the fork, letting any excess coating drip off, and return to the baking sheet. (If the coating begins to harden, microwave it for a few seconds to warm it up and thin it out.) Chill the truffles until the coating is completely set, about 1 hour. (The truffles can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES

Steps:

• To prepare chocolate peanut butter mixture and chill: Heat cream with peanut butter in a 1quart heavy bottomed saucepan. Use a whisk to break up peanut butter so it melts evenly. Meanwhile, melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. When chocolate and peanut butter is smooth, combine with melted chocolate, using a whisk. Force through a mediummesh sieve into another bowl, using a rubber spatula. Stir in vanilla. Let cool, then cover and chill 2 to 4 hours (or overnight). To up to shape truffles: Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa together, then sift into another bowl to combine thoroughly. Grind peanuts, if using, in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Line a large baking sheet or tray with waxed paper or 30 to 50 1inch paper candy cups (yield will depend on the size of your scoop used to shape truffle). To shape truffles: If very chilled, let mixture sit out at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop out or spoon small portions of chilled filling and roll into a ball. If desired, push a "Goober" through the side, into center of round and roll to correct shape. Roll truffle in cocoa mixture or ground nuts and place in candy cups. Place in a decorative tin or gift box, separated by sheets of waxed paper or decorative foil. Keep chilled to maintain best flavor and texture.

PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Mix the first four ingredients together well.
• Shape into 1 inch balls.
• Dip balls into melted chocolate and place on waxed paper lined cookie sheet to set.
• *I find the balls easier to dip when they are frozen or at least cold.
• I make the balls one day, pop them in the freezer and take them out a few at a time to dip-- this keeps them from being too soft to dip.
• *If you can't find dipping wafers, substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips melted with 1/3 grated parowax (yes, parowax is edible!).

Steps:

• Melt white chocolate (such as Callebaut or Valrhona) and add to peanut butter.
• Mix thoroughly and allow to cool in refrigerator until firm.
• Dust hands with powdered sugar and scoop mixture into a teaspoon to form a ball.
• Keep hands coated with powdered sugar and roll until round and smooth.
• Put in refrigerator for a few minutes.
• Dip in batch of tempered white chocolate and decorate. Makes approximately 15 truffles.
• To temper chocolate for these truffles, Diane Wickland uses the microwave but cautions that you need to closely watch your chocolate so it doesn't scorch. You will need an accurate thermometer for tempering. Cut the chocolate into pieces and put into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 2 minutes on high, said Wickland. You want to bring the chocolate to 115 to 120 degrees. Take the chocolate out of the microwave and cool to temperature of approximately 89 to 90 degrees. To decrease the temperature, Wickland will "seed" the chocolate, adding small pieces of unmelted chocolate into the mixture, stirring to melt the pieces. This quick tempering method is ideal for truffles.
