"Day 2": 2-Ingredient Chocolate-Peanut Butter Truffles
It was a bit ambitious of me to think I could make a new recipe each day, so I will likely be doing an every other day challenge. As a result, here is the second recipe of the #PillsburyCookieCountdown
At first when this recipe appeared in my inbox, I thought "Truffles? That is way too complicated for me". Truffles seem so sophisticated, elegant, intricate, I figured that there was no way a home baker with my skill level would be able to make these. Boy was I wrong! These were extremely easy and created a dessert that I feel very proud of!
Cost
- 1 roll (16.5 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated peanut butter cookies -- $3.29
- 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups) -- $0.00
Total Cost: $3.29
Due to a store promotion I was able to get the bag of semisweet chocolate chips for free by purchasing the bag of dark chocolate chips for the day one recipe.
Expectation vs. Reality
This recipe created 30 truffles, as opposed to the 24 called for by the recipe. However, unlike the ganache from the first recipe, the amount of melted chocolate was much more reasonable for coating the truffles. Although there was some extra, I do not think that making less would have been successful due to the nature of needing to cover the entire truffle.
Verdict
As I said at the beginning of the post, I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of this recipe and they taste pretty great as well! I am not a huge peanut butter and chocolate fan, but the two flavors are well balances in these truffles. Additionally, they are small enough to just pop in your mouth, making them easy and mess free to eat.
For "Day 3", the recipe is for a Holiday 7-Layer Bar, which has a fairly large number of ingredients but will hopefully not be too difficult to put together.
Happy baking!
