Salted Nut Truffles



These truffles, filled with peanut butter and marshmallow creme are deliciously simple. With a coating of white chocolate and a dusting of chopped peanuts, they look elegant in mini paper cups.





Salted Nut Truffle Recipe
1/2 jar marshmallow creme
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup peanuts, finely chopped
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. light corn syrup

1 cup white chocolate chips
1 Tbsp. shortening
1/4 cup peanuts, chopped

In a medium bowl, add marshmallow creme and peanut butter. Microwave for 1 minute. Stir in powdered sugar, peanuts, and corn syrup. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Shape mixture into 18 balls. In a small bowl, microwave white chocolate chips and shortening on 50% power in 30-second intervals until white chocolate chips are softened (about 2 minutes). Place truffle on a fork, and dip into white chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on waxed paper, and sprinkle with remaining chopped peanuts. Let stand until chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Makes 18.
