Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles
I’m not completely sure what to call these bad boys. Are they cookies? Are they truffles? I don’t really care!
Whatever you call them, they are extremely addictive and I can’t get enough of them.
I had these last year at a Christmas party so when I first read this recipe I never would have guessed they were made with vanilla wafers.
I was a little thrown off by that ingredient but after making them myself and eating them, I remembered one of my favorite childhood snacks, Nutty Bars!
Have you ever had those Nutty Bars by Little Debbie? They taste exactly like that!

These sound marvelous. How much cocoa is in an envelope – about a tablespoon?
I opened up a package of cocoa to check for you, about 1/4 of a cup.
Happy National Peanut Butter Day!
