I'm making Nutter-Butter truffles and would like to know what I should use as a binder. Thanks and Merry Christmas icon_smile.gif

Peanut Butter or vanillas buttercream sounds good...I think they would go well together with either of them.

I'm dipping in milk chocolate, would it be too much to use peanut butter and milk chocolate icing as a binder?

Maybe make some with one, thenthe other, and then both...that souds like it would be tasty!

Just a thought...some cream cheese might be good too...

It sounds like you're making cake balls, not truffles.

Some folks think 'cake balls' sounds weird or redneck, so they say 'truffles'.
I'm hillbilly from way back, so cake balls (or rum balls) it is for me.

Or the other term that floats around here - cruffles!

Ah, but my 'clientele' like old fashioned, down-home goodies... truffles or cruffles would be too up-market for them. 'Cake balls' is a friendly term.

Peanut butter or cream cheese would cut the sweetness a little - sounds tasty. too.
