Peanut Butter Truffles
My recipe story: These truffles have been part of my family’s holiday baking tradition for as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite treat to make for friends and family – and I make about 300 a year! We all had our favorite truffle flavor to make – Oreo, peanut butter, and dark chocolate. Over the years, I’ve altered the recipe to make it more consistent. When I go to any holiday gathering, there’s an expectation that I come with truffles in hand!
