Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

So truffles are like really easy. And as it turns out completely beautiful without even one single colorful confetti sprinkle or jumbo red candy heart attached. I had to resist the urge you know.

Last week when I made some ganache for those yummy butterscotch brownies, I realized it has been forever since I made chocolate truffles. Like since I was in college forever. And the best I can remember it was only that one time. So I wanted to make some more ganache and truffle it all up. But … ugh … I had no heavy whipping cream on hand and no desire to drive to the store.

So I made these with cream cheese instead.

Easy. Easy.

Chocolate. Peanut Butter. Melt. Mix with Cream cheese, Chill. Scoop and roll.

And then the fun part. You can coat the balls with good stuff…

… Like cocoa.

… like chopped peanuts.

…like powdered sugar.

…like chocolate sprinkles.

Like YUM!

And …… why hello …… cutest little chocolate sprinkles ever. So delicate and delish. I love you.

These are made by India Tree since I know you’ll want to know.

By the way, I had to resist dipping these in candy coating too. You know I’m kind of dipping addicted. But I refrained. : )

When they’re covered, you can do a couple of things with them.

Place them in cute little candy cups like these in pink foil. Love!

Then, you can package them in small candy boxes, too.

The candy cups will keep them clean and cozy. And easy to move without getting cocoa on your fingertips.

You can also wrap them in 4-inch foil candy wrappers like these.

Or be ballsy and leave them on display and uncovered at your party. Just chill again if they get to room temp. But I bet they won’t last long enough for that.
