I decided to make them so the boys would have a yummy treat when they return home from camp today (and they are on their way as I type!). The recipe called for 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs and 1 cup chunky peanut butter. There wasn't enough peanut butter to bind it all together properly so I probably added at least another 1/2 cup. I did taste the filling and it didn't seem sweet enough so I added about 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of honey. It was still pretty loose and my next idea was to add cream cheese, but I wanted to get the truffles finished...I didn't want to wait for the cream cheese to soften at room temperature (I hate softening it in the microwave).
The filling was still a little loose, but it worked. I formed all of the filling into bite-size balls (almost 40) then I dipped them in the melted dipping chocolate then sprinkled them with ground chocolate and chocolate chips. I tasted one today and they taste just like a Reese's peanut butter cup!! The boys (and even Ed) should love them! They're not extremely attractive, but they are yummy! I'm not posting a recipe below, because I'm not sure of the exact portions (and I'm just being lazy).
Enjoy!
Collette :)
