Peanut Butter Truffle Balls with M&M’s® Brand Baking Bits

mm7


Chocolate and peanut butter always
make for a magical combination. These truffle balls have an extra twist to
them – M&M’s® Brand Baking
Bits! They are a special version of M&M’s® Brand candy made
specifically for baking, reminiscent of M&M’s® Brand Minis. I mixed a
few into this recipe to add some extra crunch and flavor. Plus, they’re
colorful and fun.
This recipe is a lot easier than it
looks, so it’s perfect for holiday events when you want to whip up a lot of
quick but impressive recipes without stress. Or if you want to leave Santa
peanut butter truffle balls instead of cookies this year…what do you say?
