Peanut Butter Bubbles Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (TRUFFLES)

Steps:

• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed in a large bowl until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Add the vanilla extract, salt, and confectioners' sugar and beat on low for 2 minutes until everything is combined. The mixture is supposed to be a little soft, yet very crumbly. (Don't worry, the warmth of your hands will bring it together.)
• Roll peanut butter dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 scant Tablespoon of dough each) and place on the baking sheet. Keep working and rolling the dough in your hands until the peanut butter balls come together. You should have about 32-35 balls total.
• Cover and chill the shaped peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 1 day. During the last few minutes of the chilling time, begin melting the chocolate and oil together. You can melt it in a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave: place the chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. I recommend using a liquid measuring cup because its depth makes dipping really easy. Melt in 20 second increments in the microwave, stirring after each increment until completely melted and smooth. Let the warm chocolate sit for 5 minutes to slightly cool before dipping.
• Remove peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Working with 1 at a time, submerge into the chocolate, then carefully lift out using a fork or the spiral candy dipping tool. Tap the fork/tool gently on the side of the bowl/measuring cup to rid excess chocolate. If you used a fork, use a toothpick or a 2nd fork to help you slide the ball off of the fork and onto the baking sheet. If you used the dipping tool, just invert the ball onto the baking sheet. (See video tutorial above for how I do this.) If you have leftover chocolate, reheat it and drizzle on top of the truffles. Top with sprinkles, if desired.
• Refrigerate peanut butter balls for 30 minutes or until chocolate has completely set before serving.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

Add the peanut butter and continue beating until fluffy, 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Position 2 racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with nonstick spray.
• Roll half the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and then roll in granulated sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Chill the remaining dough while the first batch bakes.
• Bake, rotating and switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are puffed and lightly golden, 10 to 11 minutes. Immediately press a chocolate candy into the center of each cookie. Let cool 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

With small paint brush, coat inside top cup evenly with about 1 teaspoon melted chocolate to about 1/8-inch thickness, bringing coating almost to top of cup, but not over edge. Repeat until 30 cups are coated; refrigerate cups.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, vanilla and salt until smooth and uniform, about 1 minute.
• Portion the mixture into 1 tablespoon balls. Roll the balls into neat circles between your palms. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
• A few minutes before the balls are done chilling, prepare the chocolate. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in short bursts, stirring often. If chocolate becomes too thick during the dipping process, it can be liquified again in the microwave.
• Use a toothpick to skewer one ball at a time, and dip it into the melted chocolate, leaving a small circle of the peanut butter mixture exposed at the top and allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Transfer buckeyes to the prepared baking sheet and remove the toothpick. Repeat with the remaining balls, returning them to the freezer for a few minutes if they become too soft to work with. Smooth over the holes left by the toothpick with a small offset spatula or your finger. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm, about 30 minutes.
