Ingredients

125g Co-op smooth peanut butter
50g Co-op British unsalted butter, softened
150g Fairtrade icing sugar
4 Co-op Irresistible Scottish shortbread fingers
2 x 100g bars Co-op Irresistible Fairtrade 70% cocoa dark chocolate
75g Co-op large roasted and salted peanuts, roughly chopped

Method

Beat together the peanut butter, butter and icing sugar until smooth, then crumble in the shortbread and mix until well combined
Roll the mixture into 20 balls, then put on a lined baking tray and chill for 30 mins
Meanwhile, melt the chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, without allowing the bowl to touch the water
Set the chocolate aside to cool slightly, then roll the balls in it – you might want to use a cocktail stick to help you
Put the chopped peanuts in a bowl and dip in the truffles to coat
Set the truffles on a lined baking tray and chill in the fridge until firm – at least 3-4 hours
