Peanut Butter Truffles

By Tinkysmom55

Ingredients

• 1 (12 oz) pkg semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup whipping cream
• 1 tbs creamy peanut butter
• 3/4 c finely chopped, lightly salted roasted peanuts
• Wax paper

Preparation

Step 1

Microwave chocolate chips, whipping cream and peanut butter in a medium-size microwave-safe bowl at HIGH 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until melted and smooth, stirring at 30-second intervals. Let cool 10 minutes.

Beat chocolate mixture at medium speed with an electric mixer 1 to 2 minutes or until whipped and smooth. Cover and chill 2 hours or until firm.

Shape chocolate mixture into 1" balls, using a small scoop. Roll in chopped peanuts. (If chocolate mixture becomes too soft to shape, refrigerate until firm). Place on wax paper-lined baking sheets.

Chill 1 hour before serving.

Store truffles in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 5 days.
