Prep 20 mins plus 3 hours chilling time

Serves 12

Equipment Needed

Heatproof bowl, measuring scales, whisk, cling film, baking tray, baking parchment

Ingredients

100g dark chocolate, finely chopped
4 tbsps whipping cream
15g butter
3 tbsps Chocolate Orange Peanut Butter
Cocoa powder for rolling

Method

1.) Pop the finely chopped chocolate into a heatproof bowl. In another bowl, warm the cream in the microwave for 20–25 seconds, just until it’s hot. Pour the cream over the chocolate, let it melt for 3–4 minutes, then whisk everything together until silky smooth.

2.) Once the chocolate and cream are fully melted, whisk in the butter until it melts into the mixture (a quick microwave zap can help if needed). Next, stir in the peanut butter until everything is beautifully combined and smooth.

3.) Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, pressing it lightly onto the surface of the chocolate mixture, and pop it in the fridge for about two hours, or until it’s firm enough to shape.

4.) Line a baking sheet or plate with parchment paper. Scoop out the chilled chocolate mixture using a cookie scoop or spoon and roll into balls - you can dust your hands with a little cocoa powder to stop things sticking. Place the truffles on the parchment-lined sheet.

5.) Pop the truffles back in the fridge for at least half an hour to firm up again. Just before serving, roll them in unsweetened cocoa powder for that finishing touch.
