Peanut Butter and Chocolate are just 2 of my taste addictions. These truffles are fantastic, better than the peanut butter cups I used to devour while I was growing up.

- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into bits
- 3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup finely chopped salted peanuts, about
Directions
1
In a large saucepan combine the chocolate, cream, butter and peanut butter and heat over moderate heat, stirring, until chocolate is completely melted.2
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.3
Transfer to a bowl and chill for 4 hours, or until firm.4
Form mixture by heaping teaspoons into balls and roll lightly in peanuts.5
Chill on a baking sheet lined with wax paper for 1 hour, or until firm.6
Keep in an airtight container, chilled, for up to 2 weeks.

This recipe was such a hit. Only problem was that no one knew they were peanut butter. lol. Only thing I suggest is increasing peanut butter up to 1 cup. Other than that it was a huge success :D Thank you for posting!

These truffles had lots of fans over the holidays from my loved ones. I made a few kinds of them, and must see these were not my favorite of the bunch. Just a personal preference, but I thought the semi sweet chocolate was not sweet enough for the peanut butter. Still good, and this was the favorite of many family members. Thanks for posting!

I made these for our Photo Club and they turned out delicious! I didn't have a lot of time to chill the chocolate, so I placed the saucepan of chocolate directly into the freezer for about 45 minutes and they were ready to roll. After chopping the nuts with a food chopper, I placed the nuts in a small ramekin. I used a small cookie scoop to scoop the chocolate into balls. I dropped the balls of chocolate into the ramekin, one at a time, swirling them around to coat with nuts. They were so simple to do this way, and not messy at all because I never had to touch the chocolate. These would be perfect for Valentine's Day, Christmas, or any special occasion!

I made these for our photo club, and I have to say I was a bit sceptical. I don't like peanuts all that much, and salted ones on the outside really had me wondering. But these are fantastic, The peanuts and semi-sweet chocolate is a match made in heaven. To speed cooling, I placed the saucepan in my sink with about 1 inch of water up the sides (taking care not to slop any in the mix). I left it there for about 30 minutes, then into the fridge for another 30, I was rolling balls within an hour., and managed to make 37. Will they be there for our dinner party in 2 days?
