Comments on: Peanut Butter Truffles https://www.dessertfortwo.com/salty-chocolate-peanut-butter-hearts/ by Christina Lane Fri, 02 Jul 2021 15:43:46 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Tammy https://www.dessertfortwo.com/salty-chocolate-peanut-butter-hearts/comment-page-2/#comment-27174434192389434 Mon, 13 Feb 2017 20:33:20 +0000 http://www.dessertfortwo.com/?p=12067#comment-27174434192389434 I didn’t have the candy mold, so I tried to freeze the pb mixture then scoop out balls. Rolling them with my hands really didn’t work (they started to melt). I should have refrozen them then before dipping them in the melted chocolate but I didn’t, so they started melting even more (I put them in the freezer to firm up). They tasted very good (very similar to Reeses), but looked like “hats” from the pooled chocolate. I’d try these again but would probably get the mold and dip them as soon as they came out of the freezer. BTW – the coconut oil from Trader Joes did impart a mild coconut flavor to the truffles, but it wasn’t too bad. Next time, I’ll add less coconut oil to the melted chocolate (I read that you should add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil for each cup of chocolate pieces, so 1 1/2 T for 3 oz was too much)

Hi Denise :)
This is the mold I used. It’s sold out on Amazon, but I got it at Hobby Lobby. I just saw it there last week, too! Good luck :) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HCQPJ1K/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00HCQPJ1K&linkCode=as2&tag=acoki-20&linkId=ZCI3JBT7HKVGS6EB

I’m browsing through Amazon’s offerings, but not sure where to land! These look *amazing*, by the way!! :)

Glad to know I’m not the only one with the problem! I’ve tried all kinds of things, even boiling the mold, but nothing helps. Too bad, because it makes such cute candies! I made the pb hearts yesterday and they were very tasty. My PB loving valentine will love them!

Hi Rebecca,

YES! Can you see in the photo that has the mold that is has some kind of residue on it? UGH! I thought it was just because I put it in the dishwasher. Before I use it, I clean out the cavities really well with a dry paper towel. But yeah, I’m not super happy with this mold either. I should stop linking to it!

I have the same one, but I’ve only used it for molded chocolates. I’ve gotten a powdery residue on it (and other molds by this company) that nothing seems to get rid of. I’ll have to try the peanut butter filling in it, since I can no longer use it for chocolate!

Hi Erika!

I wouldn’t substitute. I called for coconut oil because it’s liquid when warm, and solidifies when cool.

Perfect to make for my hubby for Valentines day. Question about the coconut oil, can you substitute for that? Will they come out the same?

Peanut butter cups never last long around our house and the bf and I are always argue over who gets the last one. Good luck on the house – we just went through the whole process last year in Seattle and its stressful – but everything will all work out in the end and you’ll find the house that’s meant for you!
