Step-by-step

  1. Pulse together the butter and peanut butter in a food processor until they are well combined.
  2. Add in both of the sugars and pulse again until the mix starts to clump together – it will be quite crumbly.
  3. Roll the mixture between your hands into small evenly shaped balls and place onto a baking tray.
  4. Put the chocolate in a heatproof piping bag and melt in the microwave, then drizzle the truffles with the melted chocolate.
  5. Eat immediately or chill and enjoy later – they’re great for giving as gifts.

Energy saving top tip: Use the microwave to melt the chocolate, rather than a saucepan on the hob – it’s quicker and uses less energy.
