Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles
Goody Kitchen
Peanut butter chocolate truffles make a wonderful edible gift. The secret to their success lies in the addition of peanut butter to the ganache, which prevents the chocolate mix from tasting too rich and adds an extra layer of texture and flavour. Rolling the truffles in both cocoa powder and desiccated coconut ensures they look seriously impressive too.
