Awwww.. This one is darling and the kids LOVE to make them ~ and eat them! Plus it takes a little time, to prepare. A great indoor project on bad-weather days!
1/2 Cup peanut butter
1/2 Cup honey
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1/2 Tsp vanilla extract
Milk Chocolate Morsels
1/4 cup sweet cocoa
Peanut butter and honey should begin at room temperature. In a small bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey and vanilla extract until all ingredients are blended and smooth. Add the powdered sugar a little bit at a time until all the ingredients are blended and smooth. Chill in the refrigerator approxmiately 30 minutes or until the dough has slightly stiffened.
Place sweetened cocoa in a small bowl. Next, using a teaspoon, scoop a spoonful of dough, and place 2 or 3 milk chocolate morsels in the center, and then roll into a ball. Drop the ball of dough into the bowl of cocoa, and roll it around until it is completely coated to form the "truffle."
Place the truffles on a plate, and place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours until the truffles have slightly hardened.
Recipe makes about 30 one-inch truffles.
