Blue Ribbon Recipe
These peanut butter truffles are decadent and a wonderful combination of sweet and salty. The creamy white chocolate and peanut butter filling is silky smooth. With a texture similar to a cheesecake, it tastes like the filling of peanut butter cookies. Each ball is coated in a dark chocolate shell. Sprinkling with crushed peanuts adds a hint of saltiness. A delicious candy for the holidays.
