Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups sifted Chelsea Icing Sugar
    1/2 cup peanut butter, smooth or crunchy and preferably unsalted
    50g butter, melted and cooled
    1/4 teaspoon vanilla essence
    1 1/2 cups dark milk chocolate melts

Method

    1. Put the icing sugar and peanut butter into a bowl. Add the melted butter and vanilla essence. Stir thoroughly until well mixed.
    2. Roll into small balls 1-2cm in diameter. Put on a tray and refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until very firm.
    3. Line a shallow tray with waxed paper or foil. Using a toothpick or a skewer, partly dip each ball into the melted chocolate, leaving about one-third uncovered where the skewer has been inserted.
    4. When all the balls are dipped, put a little drop of chocolate over the hole made by the toothpick or skewer (the one third that was not covered in the first chocolate dipping).  (Put some melted chocolate in a small plastic bag. Cut off one corner of the bag to make a small hole. Squeeze out a drop of chocolate onto each ball.) Leave until the chocolate sets (10-20 minutes). Store in the refrigerator.

I’d give this 2 stars for the idea, but even with the comment about less sugar it was disgustingly sweet. To use it at all I put the whole 380grm jar in, about a cup and a half. I’m making them very small because they are still very rich, just peanut butter on its own would work best perhaps ?

The mixture was really crumply so had to use 1 cup peanut butter instead of half a cup and a extra teaspoon of vanilla. So that was 11/4:teaspoons of vanilla in total. Then the mixture was moist enough to roll into balls.

Question: Step 3 says to leave one third uncovered. But nothing is said later about covering this part. Do you wait until the other 2 thirds has set and then cover it, or do you leave it uncovered. A bit confused, but that's not unusual! Thank you.
CHELSEA: hi, once you've covered the majority of the ball, place on a tray, remove the skewer, and cover the remaining ball with chocolate. Recipe has been updated.

Beautiful! Except if you don’t have a big sweet tooth I recommend not using as much icing sugar as it makes the truffles very sweet, I added a few peanuts to it to make it a bit crunchier and to dilute the sweetness.
