Notes
Tips and Tricks
- Chill before dipping. This helps the truffles hold their shape and makes coating easier.
- Use smooth peanut butter. It creates a creamier texture, but crunchy can be used for added texture.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate. Melt gently to keep it smooth and glossy.
- Make them uniform. A small scoop helps create even-sized truffles.
- Add toppings. Sprinkle with crushed peanuts or a pinch of sea salt for extra flavour.
- Storage. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freezer friendly. Store in the freezer for up to 2 months.
