🎄On the fourth day of Christmas & family The Taste Magician gives to you… Peanut Butter Truffles.
🎁 Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! The journey to the passion called food this holiday season, now takes us to the lands of Australia and New Zealand and Pavlovas.
Which kid doesn’t love peanut butter? Day 4 and we present to you another tastebud-tingling recipe, much like the last three. One more that everyone out there will love.
Yum, Peanut Butter Truffles! Now, these aren’t your traditional truffles and require no technical skill – all it needs is friends, family and time. And most importantly, a fun and yum way to finish the excess peanut butter at home.
These bite-size creations don’t have to necessarily be decorated. All you need to do is make a dough with the peanut butter, some eggs and icing sugar. This dough is then rolled into equal balls and refrigerated for 1-2 hours so that they become firm and don’t fall apart. Now, cover them in chocolate and refrigerate until the chocolate firms up. This is now an amazing after-dinner treat. A wholesome and joyful treat for a 🎄Christmas Day with family and friends.
