Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles
Peanut butter is arguably a favorite
ingredient in this house. My husband is known to put it on lots of different
foods, some that I'm not a fan of. These little truffles are pretty quick to
make and are filled with peanut butter (obviously) and crushed pretzels. You
could cover them in any chocolate that you want to, but I almost always opt for
semi-sweet or dark. Growing up I loved milk chocolate but as I got older and
started working in chocolate stores I definitely developed a love for dark
chocolate.
I thought I would share these truffles
because I really like them. My husband came home from work the other day and I
had moved them and he very quickly asked where they had gone. He thought I had
eaten them all and seemed a little sad about that. When he realized I had just
moved them then everything was better :).
As per usual, I've been trying to think
of fun ways to vary this treat. I feel like an obvious way is to use crunchy
peanut butter, almond butter, or a flavored peanut butter (such as PB & Co).
Just imagine their dark chocolate peanut butter mixed into this. Yum! The white
chocolate one would be fun too, then dip the truffles in white chocolate. You
could also crush up chocolate covered pretzels then you would have chocolate on
the outside and on the inside. I'm getting a little crazy here I know.
Ready for the super quick and super easy recipe? By the way, I'm sorry about my
pictures, they don't do these little treats justice. The light was pretty gone
outside and I'm pretty sure my camera was on the wrong setting but hey, at
least you can get an idea of what they should look like :).
