Orange Peanut Butter Chocolates

Ingredients:

• 5 grams butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter
• 2 tablespoons castor sugar
• 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 100 grams dark compound chocolate slab
• 4-5 drops of Auris ‘ORANGE 24K’ Premium Food Flavour

Directions:

1. Add peanut butter and butter in a bowl and cream them.
2. Once the two butters blend together, add caster sugar in small quantities, mixing as you go.
3. Take care to ensure the sugar is incorporated into the butter blend and the mixture is not sticky but fluffy.
4. Take a tablespoon or more of the mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball.
5. Once you are done making the balls, place them in a freezer.
6. Next, using the double boiler method or a microwave (on low setting, with continuous stirring), melt the dark chocolate compound. Add chocolate chips and Auris ‘ORANGE 24K’ Premium Food Flavour to the compound.
7. Once the chocolate has mostly melted, take the mixture off the heat and stir until the texture is smooth in consistency.
8. Take the peanut butter balls out of the freezer.
9. Once the temperature of the mixture drops below 38°C, begin dipping the balls into the coating. Roll the cold peanut butter ball until it is completely coated with chocolate.
10. Using your hands, a toothpick or a fork, drain the excess coating off the ball and place it on a baking sheet (lined with wax paper).
11. Allow the coating to dry completely.
12. Store the peanut butter truffles in an airtight container.
