Peanut butter and oatbran chocolate truffles
1 hour 5 min
I wanted to make healthier truffles that looked similar to Baci®. These chocolates are a symbol of love in Italy and have the infamous whole hazelnut inside. I made a peanut butter and oatbran version but with no added sugar. Perfect to make at home for a special Valentine's day present.

- Grind the chopped hazelnuts in a food processor until very fine.
In a bowl, mix peanut butter, ground hazelnuts and oat bran. If the peanut butter is not soft enough, work it in with a fork.
Line a tray with parchment paper. Use the palm of your hands to roll a teaspoon of truffle mixture into a round ball, about the size of a small walnut. Place a whole hazelnut on top of each truffle and secure in place by pressing it down into the truffle.
Freeze truffles for at least 30 minutes.- Place the chocolate into a glass or metal bowl and set over the top of a pan of barely simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment lined tray.- Freeze again until set. Remove from freezer 5 minutes before serving.
