Don't judge the look of these snow balls. I know they don't look appetising nor yummy to you (thanks to my shaping and rolling skills! :-P) but i can assure you that they are as chocolatey and peanutey as any chocolate truffles u can find. What makes the difference between my version and typical ones is that i had used chocolate cake crumble, instead of ganache rolled into ground almond, so i guess mine is healthier or lower in fat??? With the absence of heavy cream i believe it makes a LOT of difference, but then again, i just added that 1 tbsp of Skippy peanut butter :-P.
The recipe is fairly simple. Get a whole piece of chocolate cake and squash it up to as crumbly as you can, add melted dark/milk chocolate (enough to combine), 1-2 tbsp of peanut butter, raisins or chopped nuts or choc chips or cornflakes and roll them round round before dusting with cocoa powder/ground nuts/ shaved chocolate. Infact you may add anything you wish, but i was trying to maintain a low fat profile so peanut butter and chocolate was all i could afford.
Try it out, it's super scrumptuous and deletable (good for choco addicts like me!) but do make sure you use good quality chocolate!
