Peanut Butter Truffles

2 cups whipping cream
2 pounds white chocolate, melted
2 cups peanut butter
1 pound bittersweet chocolate

Scald cream in a small saucepan. Remove from heat and chill. Combine white chocolate and peanut butter together in a mixing bowl and blend together.

Add chilled whipping cream and continue blending at high speed until a smooth consistency is achieved.

Pour mixture into a suitable container and place in the refrigerator for 24 hours, to allow mixture to set.

Using a melon baller, or a number 70 scoop, form the mixture into balls. Place balls on a sheet pan and into the refrigerator to firm up.

Melt the dark chocolate over a double boiler.

Gently dip each ball in the melted chocolate so that it's fully coated. Decorate with crushed peanuts. Keep truffles in the refrigerator until required.
