Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Peanut Butter Truffles~ page 224

These little truffles are addictive! I made the "dough" for the middle of the truffles a couple days ahead of time and then when I was ready for them I diced the "dough" into little cubes to roll into balls. These can seem a little crumbly, but just keep rolling till the balls are smooth and round.
Below is what the dipping chocolate looks like....usually comes in an ice cube try thingy.
You just pop a couple out at a time and microwave them 1 minute, stir, then microwave them another 30 seconds or till smooth. I use fondue forks for lifting them out of the chocolate, works like a charm.
They might look a little messy when you plop them down on the parchment paper, but once they harden you can break off any extra chocolate around the edges.
Below is a close up of the middle of one! If that doesn't make you want to make these, then I don't know what will!
