If a child didn't eat the school or camp lunch, out came the peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Well, I didn't like peanut butter and jelly. I was a finicky eater as a child. Even now, although I love jelly, and I love peanut butter, I don't like the combination. Unless, of course, there's chocolate!
So for today's food holiday, National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day, here's a simple recipe for Peanut Butter & Jelly Truffles. There are other recipes out there, but I love this one!
PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY TRUFFLES
Ingredients
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1 cup dark chocolate, chopped
1 cup smooth peanut butter
3/4 cup grape jelly
chopped peanuts
Directions
Put cream cheese in bowl.
Melt chocolate and stir into bowl of cream cheese.
Add peanut butter.
Mix together on low speed.
Put mixture into square 8" dish. Spread evenly and chil in fridge for an hour.
Using melon baller or spoon, scoop out and then roll with hands into a ball.
Make a deep depression with thumb in each ball and fill with 1/4 tsp jelly.
Smooth over to seal jelly in ball.
Roll truffles in chopped peanuts.
