Last night we were talking with a few friends about what foods we don’t eat.  I was talking about how I used to be a very picky eater.  In college and into my 20’s I really didn’t eat all that much. I didn’t like Chinese food, I didn’t eat hot dogs, I wouldn’t touch a burger not made by me, I wouldn’t eat onions, peppers, or mushrooms, and I’d never even looked at a piece of tofu.

Love peanut butter? You need to make these easy Peanut Butter Truffles!

Fast forward into my mid-20’s.  I met my husband and he started me on eating onions and peppers.   I started cooking them in my foods and they were good.  Later on I added in mushrooms.  Finally we added in tofu which I love today.  It’s definitely an acquired taste or texture but I really like it.   Oh and I love Chinese food.

There aren’t many foods I won’t eat now.  I still won’t touch a hot dog because they just aren’t good.  I still don’t like ham.  I won’t touch an olive and the food I like least of all is peanut butter.   I can’t even stand the smell of peanut butter and there is no way I’m eating it.

So then why am I sharing a recipe for peanut butter truffles?  Well my husband likes peanut butter.  We always have a jar of it in the house.  Just because it’s there doesn’t mean I have to like it.  However, every now and then I’ll be nice and make my husband a treat with peanut butter in it.  In fact, he loves when someone orders peanut butter cookies because he rarely gets them.

Delicious Peanut Butter Truffles dunked in milk chocolate

This recipe, like most truffle recipes, is pretty easy.  The truffle filling is simply peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and graham crackers.   It’s put together, rolled into balls, and dipped into chocolate.  I obviously didn’t try them but my husband said they were pretty awesome!
