START WITH A PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLE POP-TRY NOT TO BITE INTO TOO MANY LIKE I DID-OOPS!
NEXT, SEND THE POPS FOR A CHOCOLATE BATH & SOME SPRINKLES….
FINALLY, I HAD THE IDEA TO ADD SOME GUMMI SAVERS TO THE STICK! WHAT DO YOU THINK?????
HERE’S THE RECIPE!!! IF YOU HAVE EVER MADE A BUCKEYE AND LOVED IT THEN WAIT UNTIL YOU TRY THESE. VERY SIMILAR TO THE BUCKEYE BUT THESE INGREDIENTS ARE FIRST COOKED. INTERESTING! AND THE RESULTS WERE AWESOME. MOVE OVER REESE’S PEANUT BUTTER CUPS! HERE IS THE RECIPE AS I ADAPTED IT FROM SANDY’S SWEETS…
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup peanut butter, room temperature
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
MELTING CHOCOLATES OR BARK (WILTON OR MERCKENS WHICH I PREFER)
LOLLIPOP STICKS
MELT BUTTER AND PEANUT BUTTER IN SAUCEPAN. REMOVE FROM HEAT AND STIR IN THE SUGAR UNTIL IT COMES TOGETHER. WRAP IN PLASTIC WRAP AND CHILL AN HOUR. ROLL INTO BALLS AND CHILL AGAIN UNTIL FIRM. IF YOU DON’T WAIT LONG ENOUGH THEY WILL FLATTEN A BIT. ONCE FIRM, MELT YOUR CHOCOLATES AND DIP AWAY. INSERT STICK IMMEDIATELY AFTER DIPPING AND PLACE ON WAX PAPER TO FIRM UP. CAN REFRIGERATE TO HELP THEM SET UP. IF YOU’D LIKE, PLACE GUMMI SAVERS RIGHT ONTO YOUR STICKS FOR DECORATION. IF YOU PREFER, OMIT THE STICKS AND JUST MAKE YUMMY TRUFFLES.
