DIY WEEKEND 2

For my DIY/Pinterest weekend 2 I decided to make another recipe using peanut butter and chocolate. My recipe this weekend was peanut butter truffles. Fancy name for, peanut butter balls rolled in melted chocolate. It was very fun to make, yet took longer than I thought. The steps I took in realizing the project's completion again is having the right ingredients, timing everything, and mixing everything well enough that it holds together. This recipe involved a lot of time for formation, and perfection. The way these were made is by the use of powdered sugar, melted butter, peanut butter, and semi sweet chocolate chips. The first step was to combine the peanut butter, and butter. Next the recipe called for stirring in the powdered sugar gradually until one big dough ball formed. Once the ball was formed I had to cover it and let it sit for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes was up I rolled the dough into 1 inch balls, then put them in the fridge for 20 minutes to form and harden. While they were in the fridge I melted the chocolate in a sauce pan, which took about 6 minutes. Once the 20 minutes was up I then began to dunk the peanut butter balls in the chocolate. Once that was completed I put the tray of truffles back into the fridge for about 20-30 minutes. The end result turned out great and they were delicious! The time it took to make these including the shopping for ingredients was about 2 hours and 15 minutes. I am pleased with how this project is going. Here are pictures of my process for this weekend!
