How to make Peanut Butter Truffles

You will need:

200g Milk Chocolate

125g Peanut Butter (either chunky or smooth)

50g icing sugar

Method:

Firstly, to the peanut butter add the icing sugar and mix until a thick dough has formed.
Then roll about a tablespoon of the peanut butter dough into a ball and put on a pre-lined baking tray with baking paper. Repeat until all the dough is used.
Pop the peanut butter balls into the freezer for 3 to 4 hours to fully set.
Then chop the chocolate into small pieces.
Then we will temper the chocolate using a cheats method with a microwave so you don't require a thermometer. Put your chopped chocolate into a microwavable bowl. Microwave your chocolate for 20 seconds and mix. Then only melt for additional 20 seconds at a time. Once the chocolate is mostly melted, keep stirring it until it melts completely (by keeping the amount of time heated down we can keep the chocolate under 30C which then allows it to temper and set - if you have a thermometer you can use it to make sure you don't go above 30C).
Then coat each peanut butter ball in the chocolate, either putting back on the pre-lined tray or you can use petit four cases. Once all the balls are coated then allow to set.
