Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle Shortbread Sandwiches



While sitting here with a bunch of leftover peanut butter chocolate truffle mixture, I thought, “Well, Beavis, what do you do with this?” I made this up. Sort of. I mean, I combined recipes. That's when I'm at my best (that is where the chocolate caramel shortbread came from).

The shortbread is crumbly and melt-in-the-mouth good (the secret is subbing cornstarch for some of the flour), and the truffle mixture is pure chocolate/peanut butter/cream goodness. Each sandwich is mini (see picture) so as to be the perfect mouthful. And because they're so small, you get 20 little evil temptations!

Ingredients: butter, powdered sugar, cornstarch, flour, vanilla, salt, semisweet chocolate, peanut butter, heavy cream.
Price: $5/20
Available: SOLD OUT

PAYMENT: If you want something, comment here! Then when I give the okay, paypal the fundage to amandr at gmail dot com.

I am trying to eat my computer screen. Luckily for my computer, I have all the makings for shortbread here at home - clearly I will have to look for a recipe for chocolate peanut butter truffle.

Was this a heavy cream? Half and half? Curious minds need to know! :)

I suggest heavy cream. you need the denseness to hold the truffles together.

Those look DELISH. Any chance you'd be willing to share the shortbread recipe and how you put the two recipes together? Wish I'd caught these in time to order. :)

I used this shortbread recipe: http://www.joyofbaking.com/shortbreads/shortbreadcookies.html

but I subbed 1/2 c cornstarch for 1/2 c flour. Then I used a linzer center (circle) to cut out the sandwich-sized wafers. Then you bake! I do mine for 8 minutes, because my oven is electric and therefore cursed by satan.

Let the cookies cool. Make the truffle mixture. Then while it's still soft and stirable (but not nuclear hot), dump it in a plastic baggie and tie off the end. (I do this by lining a mg with the baggie, pouring the stuff in, and then lifting the bag out. Voila! instant pastry bag!) Snip off one corner and squeeze out truffle mix on one cookie innard. smoosh. refridgerate. later--consume!
