Chubby Hubby Buckeye Peanut Butter Truffles Recipe. I've had my eye on these for a long time, but I knew my waistline wouldn't thank me once I made them (I have no self control). I finally gave in and have made them more than once! They are so easy and DELICIOUS! I love anything with peanut butter and chocolate. As you can see, there are only 4 left from the whole batch. My husband and I went to town on these bad boys before I was able to get some pictures, but each batch makes 18 truffles (or more, depending on the size you make them). So of course, I had to make another batch to bring to the neighbors! Make them. Chubby Hubby Buckeye Truffles Recipe: Ingredients: 1½ cups pretzel pieces ½ cup creamy peanut butter 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (room temperature) 2 tablespoons light brown sugar dash of salt 3 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 cup milk or semisweet chocolate chips (I used milk) 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening Makes about 18 truffles.
Looking for more truffles? Strawberry Nutella Poptarts. Friday, February 10, 2012 Strawberry Nutella Poptarts* In almost 24 hours I am going to be on live television. Seriously. I have no idea what I am going to wear or say….and I’m pretty sure the producer over at Good Morning Jacksonville has no idea what she has gotten herself into. Sure, I’m great on the blog…but give me a big camera sending out a live feed, a sharp knife and my foot in mouth tendencies… well I am sure it’s going to go splendidly. I’m just kidding of course, I am sure it is going to go great!
While I may not have it all figured out just yet, I have decided that I will talk like Julia Child and only refer to myself in third person. First, take some store bought pie dough. Roll out the pie dough till it’s pretty thin. On one pie dough rectangle, spread a layer of Nutella. Cut a strawberry slice into the shape of a heart (slice a strawberry lengthwise into slices and then curve out the stop with a paring knife to create the heart shape).
Using a fork, seal the edges. DIY- poptart pops. Resurrection Rolls. Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Balls. Over Memorial Day weekend a couple weeks ago at my father’s house, I needed to make a quick, yummy and easy dessert for the entire family to enjoy. Well, I didn’t need to make one but I wanted to, and believe me, my family wanted me to as well. We are a big peanut butter and chocolate family so I thought I would whip up a quick batch of peanut butter balls to compliment the Raspberry Magic Balls that I already had made. I’m not a one dessert-making gal much to my sister’s chagrin. I like everyone to have a choice. So, I decided to make the peanut butter balls but quickly realized we were out of powdered sugar. That is an integral ingredient in those balls. Not to worry because the internet was to the rescue and I found a great recipe that used crushed graham crackers (which I had!)
Peanut Butter Graham Cracker Balls Makes: 20-24 balls Ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter (I used crunchy) 1 1/2 cups graham crackers crumbs ¾ cup mini chocolate chips or Heath bits Directions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Nutela Rollups. The other night I had a couple friends over for dinner and turned to Pinterest for menu inspiration. I used this as my inspiration for the main dish But I served it on top of pasta and instead of Panko bread crumbs I made my own. And I use my favorite pre-made tomato sauce to cut down on prep time. So so delicious. I also made this as a side dish. I also added broccoli and use a balsamic glaze instead of a regular balsamic vinaigrette. Then for dessert, I made these. For these, I never even clicked the recipe link on Pinterest but the picture gave me a perfect jumping point. I highly, highly suggest any of these three dishes. Do you use pinterest for dinner ideas? And thank you to all of you about the sweet words regarding my e-design ventures!
