Who say’s a girl can’t have her cake and eat it too? That’s exactly what you’re going to get in these scrumptious truffles – cake!
These little babies have already worked their way to the top of my favorites list.
If you have someone special on your Valentine’s Day list that loves the combination of peanut butter and chocolate like I do, these would make the perfect (homemade) gift.
Marshmallow, Peanut Butter, and Cake Truffles
1/2 c. peanut butter
2 tbsp. margarine
1 c. mini-marshmallows
3/4 c. powdered sugar
1 unfrosted chocolate cupcake, crumbled fine
3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 tbsp. vegetable shortening
In a small saucepan, melt margarine, peanut butter, and marshmallows on low heat. Stir in cake crumbs. Add powdered sugar and remove from heat; stirring until mixture forms a ball.
Remove from saucepan and place into small bowl. Cover and chill in refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Once dough has chilled, roll dough into 1” balls.
Melt chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a double boiler. Dip balls into chocolate and place onto prepared cookie sheet. Return to refrigerator to harden.
Makes about 1 dozen.
