PEANUT BUTTER & CARAMEL TRUFFLES

A very easy treat for the weekend! She is so simple yet satisfying and I bet you already have the ingredients in your pantry. The chocolate layer cracks when you bite through the truffle, while the filling melts in your mouth. Enjoy!

INGREDIENTS (30-40 truffles)

 1 cup Peanut Butter
 1 cup Caramel Treat
 ½ cup Icing Sugar
 2 tsp Vanilla Essence/Any Liquor
 1 tsp Salt
 200g Dark Chocolate, roughly chopped 

METHOD

 1. Prepare two plates that fit into your freezer with non-stick spray.
 2. In a large bowl, whisk together all the ingredients with an electric mixer, except the chocolate.
 3. When the mixture is smooth and well combined, start rolling truffles between your palms. 
 4. Place the truffles on your prepared plate, cover them with plastic wrap and place them into the freezer for 1 hour.
 5. Prepare a serving tray with baking paper and non-stick spray. 
 6. Melt the chocolate in the microwave and stir every 30 seconds until just melted. 
 7. Dip the truffles in the melted chocolate and place them onto the baking paper (Tip 1).
 8. Once the chocolate is set, you can carefully move the truffles to an airtight container and keep them in the fridge.  
TIPS
 1. I used a teaspoon to fold the truffle into the chocolate and then lift the truffle out onto a fork for the excess chocolate to drip off into the bowl. I then used another fork to slide the truffle onto the baking paper.
