Dark Chocolate Dreams Truffles / Giveaway

By 175 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Remember on Saturday when I said I was craving chocolate?  I wasn’t kidding and today’s recipe really cures that chocolate craving I had.  This is not the healthiest recipe in the world but oh my gosh is it ever good! I’m drooling just thinking about it.  Before looking at the photos, please note I am not a baker or chocolate maker!  I am horrible at decorating baked or non-naked goods.  Ok, now that I got that out-of-the-way, let me share with you Dark Chocolate Dreams Truffles.

Dark Chocolate Dreams Truffles
These truffles are what you call melt in your mouth truffles. My friend Andrea, described them as chocolate melts, kind of like the melt mint-aways but in chocolate and peanut butter form. If you like chocolate and peanut butter together you will LOVE these truffles.  Andrea, said if these were sold in a store she would totally buy them. Hey that is a good thing, but why buy them, when you can make them and they are super easy to make, no special equipment needed!!

I have to tell you I am part of the Peanut Butter and Co. Yum Squad and as part of my duty being part of the Yum Squad I must share with you goodies from Peanut Butter and Co. Oh I know such a hard task! Life is tough isn’t it! lol To start the year off right I was given the new 31 Days of Dark Chocolate Dreams, a brand new cookbook written by Peanut Butter & Co. Founder & President Lee Zalben that features a month’s worth of decadent recipes using our Dark Chocolate Dreams all natural peanut butter. This cookbook is amazing! All of the delicious decant recipe in it, oh my gosh!! And today’s recipe is just one of the 31 recipes in the cookbook.
Dark Chocolate Dreams Cookbook
As usual I am one of those non-thinker cooks, that starts a recipe, not realizing she didn’t have all of the ingredients on hand. I always do that, so I modified the recipe just a little, which lowered the calories and made the recipe simpler to make, not that it was hard to begin with, but my version is just a tad easier.
Dark Chocolate Dreams Truffles
To make the recipe I took Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter, mixed it with powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix it all together, taste test a few hundred times because you know, it’s good! Then I rolled the dough into balls and froze them for a bit. Then I melted some dark chocolate in the microwave and rolled my balls in it. This was one of the best lick the bowl clean recipes ever. I swear I had chocolate peanut butter overload that day and oh it was so worth it. I ate so much, that I kid you not, for dinner, I ate sautéed vegetables. I couldn’t handle anymore chocolate until I photographed the truffles that evening. he he
Dark Chocolate Dreams Truffles
These truffles were such a huge hit with everyone, that I had to make a second batch and needless to say I went through a 28 oz jar of Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter in two days! That was the quickest jar of PB ever!!   I have to tell you these truffles would make the ultimate Valentine’s Day gift for that special someone.  Or if you want, make some for me!

Cook time
Total time
 
A rich, chocolaty, melt in your mouth truffle filled with Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter and dipped in dark chocolate.
Serves: 50 Truffles
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter
  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • ¼ cup butter,softened
  • ½ tsp. vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 8 oz dark chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. In a medium size bowl add Dark Chocolate Dreams Peanut Butter, confectioners sugar, butter, vanilla extract, salt and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix together with a spoon and then knead together until well blended.
  3. Roll about a tablespoon size of dough in the palm of your hand to make a ball. Place on prepared baking sheet. If the dough seems to soft to roll, place in the refrigerator to harden up. Once all of the dough is rolled into balls, place in the freezer for one hour.
  4. Meanwhile in a microwave safe bowl, add chocolate wafers. Microwave for 20 seconds, stir, and microwave in 10 second intervals until chocolate is melted.
  5. Skewer each chilled truffle with a toothpick and roll into melted chocolate. Feel free to press into peanuts or leave plain. I used sprinkles on top. Return truffles to parchment paper; remove the toothpick and let cool. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  6. Note: I had a little bit of chocolate left, so calories maybe a little less.

    My favorite all-time peanut butter recipe is for crunchy peanut butter cookies hot from the oven!

  8. samantha says

    My favorite peanut butter recipe is very simple actually: peanut butter cookies!! They take me back to my childhood and give me memories of my grandparents. When I was old enough, my mom showed me how to make them and I always thought it was so much fun to indent them with forks.

  11. Rebecca says

    My favorite peanut butter recipe is for kris kringles. I use peanut butter instead of marshmallows with rice krispies. Then you add chocolate and butterscotch chips melted on top. Absolutely the best cookies.

  18. Alice F says

    My favorite Peanut Butter recipe is an oldie but goodie…..Peanut Butter Cookies! Love those things.

  20. Jeffrey says

    I make a Peanut Butter Cheesecake that is freakin’ awesome. What’s nice is that it’s not sickening sweet either, making it very easy to eat a monster size piece!

  26. Angie Jerde says

    I love pb in between Ritz crackers covered with any type of chocolate (especially dark), Rice Crispys and pb covered in chocolate or just a good old fashioned peanut butter cup!

  28. June says

    Peanut Butter Energy Bites is my favorite. Has peanut butter, raw honey, oats, chopped almonds, ground flaxseed, vanilla… super simple no bake cookies.

    I follow you on Pintrest. Thanks!!

  29. Karey says

    I LOVE all your lightened up coffee drinks. The almond joy and the chocolate peanut butter frappe are the best!

  43. Linda says

    My favorite recipe is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. With this peanut butter and then dipped in chocolate they would be double good! Cravings bring out the best in us some days.

    I’d love it if you linked this to What’d You Do This Weekend. It would be perfect.

    Wishes for tasty dishes,
    Linda

  62. theresa says

  75. Kari F says

    Peanut butter and chocolate is my absolute favorite combination! If I have to narrow it down to one recipe it is peanut butter chocolate chip (or chunk) cookies. YUM!

  110. Amy Sheehan says

    I still love a good old PB & J for lunch. I also love making PB no bake cookies!! Or just having spoonfuls of PB 🙂

  123. Brie says

    While I love just eating peanut butter on a spoon, I would have to say my favorite peanut butter recipe is my peanut butter cream cheese frosting! It tastes delicious on top of chocolate cupcakes!

  135. M Sergeant says

    I love peanut butter. on a spoon or just plain on a toasted english muffin. doesn’t matter.

  140. kristen Muenz says

    My favorite peanut butters are White Chocolate Wonderful and Dark Chocolate Dreams, although, Cinnamon Raisin is a close third. My favorite thing to do with peanut butter is to simply eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon. But, if I’m feeling like messing around in the kitchen, I have a sinfully good cookie recipe for peanut butter and oat cookie sandwiches – to die for!

  142. Kelly p says

    My all time favorite may be peanut butter and jelly. but for a little more, my peanut butter cookies 🙂

  151. Susan Broughton says

    My favorite recipe with Peanut Butter is Peanut Butter Fudge. My grandmother use to make it for me as a kid and I still love it today as an adult!
