kraft kitchens tips

Size-Wise

This delicious recipe is intended for special occasions. Be sure to keep portion size in mind - each serving is 2 balls.

Substitute

Roll balls in finely chopped pecans, toasted flaked coconut, grated Baker's Semi-Sweet or White Chocolate or finely crushed Nilla Vanilla Wafers instead of the icing sugar.

Note

For best results, make sure the chocolate mixture is at room temperature before adding the Cool Whip. For easy rolling of the balls, refrigerate chocolate mixture 1 hour as directed. If the chocolate mixture gets soft while rolling out the balls, return it to the refrigerator, or pop it in the freezer, until firm.

A note from the
Kraft Kitchens Experts

For easy rolling of balls, refrigerated the mixture for 1 hour as per instructions. If mixture gets soft while rolling out the balls, put mixture back into the refrigeration to chill or pop in the freezer to quickly chill. Make sure chocolate and peanut butter mixture is at room temperture before adding the COOL WHIP Whipped Topping.

Amazing recipe, I have made these many times for various occasions (biggest hit at Christmas) and everyone has loved them - even those who aren't big chocolate fans. Rolling them in cocoa powder and icing sugar are the favourites by far because the nuts make it an awkward shape and the coconut is too overpowering. Incredibly easy to make and they freeze very well in the paper/foil cups ready to serve!

While messy to make they are very good. I found that it was easier to form the balls and let them sit before rolling them in the coatings. I will definitely make them again!

Excellent! I've made these on numerous occasions and there is never any left! Try rolling them in Skor bits or white chocolate as well.

I personally loved this recipe. It was very easy to make and had a very rich truffle-style taste. I will definitely make it again!

These were okay. Sort of like Truffles with a light peanut butter taste. Not bad but not amazing.

Taste was great ... but quite messy to make.

This was very easy and very good if you love peanut butter, which we do at our house. This is a bit messy. I found it easier to make the balls and then roll them in the sugar one at a time so your hands don't get to messy. Have fun with this.
