Peanut Butter Truffle Cake Balls Recipe

• 2 ½ cups confectioners' or powdered sugar
• 1 ½ cup smooth peanut butter
• 5 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp. salt
• 1 lb. bittersweet baking chocolate chips, melted in a bowl and at room temperature
• 3 oz. milk chocolate, melted

2. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. Scoop about 1 tsp. of mix and form it into the truffle shape - round or spiked, then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze or continue to the next step immediately.
4. Coat each truffle with melted chocolate, using a fork or spoon, tapping to remove excess, then place on a freshly lined baking tray.
5. Allow the chocolate to harden, then decorate with milk chocolate in swirls, using a piping bag.
