Walnut peanut butter chocolates
Somehow you have to be creative when you get 3 kg of walnuts for free. In keeping with the chocolate season of the year, I dared to try a new chocolate recipe: walnut peanut butter chocolates. My dear friend Marlene brought me super addictive peanut butter chocolate things from the USA last summer and infected me a little with her addiction.

Ingredients for the walnut peanut butter chocolates
80 g soft butter
130 g sugar
50 g walnuts
80 g peanut butter
30 g butter biscuits
130 g flour
2 tbsp milk
1/8 tsp salt

How to make walnut peanut butter chocolates
First crumble the walnuts and biscuits with a Blitzhacker finely.
Beat the sugar in a bowl together with the soft butter until creamy. Then add the milk, peanut butter and walnuts. The sugar should be completely dissolved after mixing. Then mix in the biscuits and flour with the salt.
Form small balls out of the dough and put all balls in the freezer for one hour.
Melt the chocolate over a water bath. Then take the balls out of the freezer and dip them into the liquid chocolate. Let the chocolate drip off on a grid and cool the pralines. Then put it in the fridge and keep it there. Directly chilled, they taste best.

INGREDIENTS
– 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
– 1 cup powdered sugar
– 8 ounces chocolate (I use a mixture of dark and milk)
– 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
INSTRUCTIONS
Using an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter and butter until smooth.
Add vanilla and powdered sugar and mix together until completely combined. This mixture may seem dry and crumbly, but it will come together.
Use a small cookie scoop or a teaspoon-size measuring spoon to make small balls. Roll in hand to create a smooth ball. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes.
While truffles are chilling, melt chocolate. I use a quick temper method. Chop chocolate and melt roughly 3/4 (six ounces) in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.
Once fully melted, add remaining two ounces of chopped chocolate and shortening. Stir until the chocolate is smooth and silky.
Using a fork, dip prepared truffles in chocolate, tapping off extra chocolate.
Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Let cool until chocolate is hardened.
Store in airtight container in refrigerator if truffles are not eaten within three days.
Enjoy it,
