BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Learn how to make Florida peanut butter chocolate truffles to enjoy with your family, friends or yourself for dessert. 

INGREDIENTS

■ 6 ounces Florida peanut brittle, finely crushed

■ ½ cup heavy cream

■ 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

■ 4 ounces dark chocolate chips

■ 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

■ Pinch of sea salt

PREPARATION

■ In a small saucepot over medium heat, bring heavy cream to a simmer. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl with the chocolate chips. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 10 minutes to melt the chocolate. Uncover and add the vanilla, stirring until completely smooth.

■ Place in refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set. Using an ice cream scoop or small spoon, scoop out small amounts of chocolate and roll into balls (disposable latex gloves are helpful during this step).

■ Next, roll the truffles into the crushed peanut brittle (or coating of your choice). Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill to set. Serve at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Fresh Tip: These truffles can be rolled in additional items such as crushed cookies, flaked coconut, or cocoa powder.
