PEANUT BUTTER CUP BITES

Steps:

• Prepare a baking sheet with parchment and a baking rack.
• For the bites: Add the oats, peanut butter, honey, flaxseed, coconut oil and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. This can also be done in a bowl with a spoon and a bit of elbow grease. Mix until completely combined.
• Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, scoop the dough and roll it in your hands until it forms a ball. Repeat with the remainder of the mixture. As you work, place the balls on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
• For the chocolate shell: Add the chocolate and coconut oil to a bowl set over a pot of simmering water and allow it to melt and become smooth, about 3 minutes. Mix until smooth and set aside.
• Remove the bites from the freezer. One at a time, drop one bite in the chocolate shell, remove it with a fork (or two) and return it to the same baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining bites. Return the baking sheet to the freezer to set the chocolate shell, about 10 minutes.
• Sneak one now and transfer the remaining bites to a resealable plastic bag. Store in the freezer. When you are ready to enjoy them, allow them to thaw for 10 minutes or more at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES

Steps:

• To prepare chocolate peanut butter mixture and chill: Heat cream with peanut butter in a 1quart heavy bottomed saucepan. Use a whisk to break up peanut butter so it melts evenly. Meanwhile, melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water. When chocolate and peanut butter is smooth, combine with melted chocolate, using a whisk. Force through a mediummesh sieve into another bowl, using a rubber spatula. Stir in vanilla. Let cool, then cover and chill 2 to 4 hours (or overnight). To up to shape truffles: Whisk powdered sugar and cocoa together, then sift into another bowl to combine thoroughly. Grind peanuts, if using, in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Line a large baking sheet or tray with waxed paper or 30 to 50 1inch paper candy cups (yield will depend on the size of your scoop used to shape truffle). To shape truffles: If very chilled, let mixture sit out at room temperature for 20 minutes to soften slightly. Scoop out or spoon small portions of chilled filling and roll into a ball. If desired, push a "Goober" through the side, into center of round and roll to correct shape. Roll truffle in cocoa mixture or ground nuts and place in candy cups. Place in a decorative tin or gift box, separated by sheets of waxed paper or decorative foil. Keep chilled to maintain best flavor and texture.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
• Sift the flour, cocoa powder and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or 2 butter knives to cut in the butter until no large pieces are visible (but the mixture will be coarse and not come together). Divide the mixture between the muffin tins and use a flat-bottomed water glass dipped in flour to press down the base (don't worry if it looks rough, the base will level out when baked). Bake this for 12 minutes and then cool completely on a rack.
• For the truffle layer, place the chocolate, peanut butter and corn syrup in a metal bowl over a pot of gently simmering water, stirring until melted. Measure out just under half of this (it makes about 1 cup/250 mL in total) and pour a little into each muffin cup, swirling the tins to coat the bases. Set aside the rest of the truffle mixture for the topping.
• For the peanut butter filling, place the white chocolate and cream in a small bowl place over a pot of barely simmering water stirring gently until smooth. Set aside.
• Beat the peanut butter and butter by hand until smooth and stir in the melted white chocolate (still warm is OK). Add the icing sugar and salt and stir until smooth. Place this in a piping bag fitted with a plain tip and pipe the filling into each cup (the truffle filling below does not need to be set up). Spread the filling to level it, if needed.
• To top the cups, pour the remaining truffle mixture over each cup (if it has set up, it can be re-melted in a bowl over simmering water) and swirl the tins to ensure the topping covers the peanut butter layer. Sprinkle the top of each cup with a little chopped peanuts and then chill to set. Once set, the cups can be stored at room temperature (see Cook's Note).

HOMEMADE REESE'S PEANUT BUTTER CUP TRUFFLES RECIPES

Steps:

• Put graham crackers in a food processor or plastic Ziploc bag and beat until they are finely crushed.
• Mix butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and graham crackers together in large bowl.
• Roll into 1" balls. Place rolled balls on large cookie sheet (I lined my cookie sheet with parchment paper) and stick in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
• In the meantime, melt dipping chocolate according to directions on package.
• Once the peanut butter balls have set up, dip in chocolate and place back on cookie sheet.
• Let set up before serving (about 20 minutes in the fridge or you can leave them out on your counter).
• Store leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. You can also store them in the fridge if you prefer to eat them cold. You can make these ahead of time and store in the freezer for about 30 days, but I prefer to make and serve them fresh.
• If you want to do an extra drizzle of chocolate on top (such as in the picture), melt some more of the dipping chocolate and pour into a plastic bag. Snip off on of the corners of the bag and drizzle onto each chocolate ball. You could also use white chocolate for a different look or sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top before the chocolate hardens.
