Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened unsalted butter. Use a hand or stand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, while continuing to mix on low speed. Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until the filling is smooth.
Transfer the peanut butter mixture to a sheet of parchment paper. Shape the mixture into a log about 10-12 inches long and 2-3 inches in diameter. Roll the log tightly in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the peanut butter log from the refrigerator and unwrap it from the parchment paper. Place it on a wire rack set over a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Carefully pour the melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter log, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides. Use a spatula to smooth out the chocolate if needed.
Place the coated log in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes, or until the chocolate has set and hardened.
Once the chocolate is set, transfer the log to a serving platter. Slice into pieces and serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
