21st celebration Desserts

So my best friend turned 21 this weekend, so we thought we would throw a dessert party at her place. And guess who made the desserts? Me! Yay! All I am going to say is be prepared. Sooooooo good.


Peanut Butter Truffles:
What you need:
-1cup Peanut Butter (don't use the natural peanut butter that has the oil, it won't set well)
-4Tblsp non-dairy butter (earth balance)
-12oz semi sweet chocolate
-Cocoa Powder

1. Make the filling: Ina large bowl, place the peanut butter and butter and mix well.
2. Put the filling in a shallow bowl and freeze until firm.
3. Form the truffles: using either a melon baller or spoon form in to ball. (Mine did not shape well because i used natural peanut butter with oil)
4. Once the balls are formed, put them back in the freezer.
5. While the peanut butter is re-freezing, melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
6. Once balls have re-frozen roll them in the melted chocolate, making sure to work fast, and place them on parchment paper. Once all balls are formed put them in the freezer until consumption.
