朱古力花生醬這東西 - Buckeyes

在杜拜買了一包Reeses
給同事嫌棄不夠LA 買來那包好味
....... (-.-')
自己的味蕾都舉腳贊同, 只是心中不服(你班衰嘢!)
美國的Reeses 花生醬部份鬆化, 咸香味道令人上癮, 一粒駁一粒
可惜杜拜 vs LA 對戰之時, LA 只剩下最後一粒

從那天起, 瘋狂的想要吃Reeses

2月3日的Island East Markets(IEM), 本打算做Reeses Peanut Butter brownie
前一天到售賣美國食品的超市散買了25粒Reeses
滿心歡喜輕輕咬一小口, 錫紙鐵綉味竟蓋過花生醬味!
怕IEM客人誤會Reeses 是如此難食所以放棄了
但自己對花生醬朱古力的慾望因此爆發

BOMB!

 

自製Buckeyes 可說是暫時滿足了慾望
Buckeyes 是美國Ohio 的傳統小食, 居民以發明此甜點引以為傲
做法簡單, 不需焗爐
不過先要確保你的朋友接受朱古力花生醬這組合
因為我身邊有隻b 一見這組合就怕怕

Buckeyes
(Yield: 36-42 Buckeyes)

Ingredients:

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (我們用二德惠買來的餅底碎)
3 cups icing sugar
140g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
340g good quality dark chocolate (60 - 72%)

Methods:

1. Beat cream cheese and peanut butter until combined
2. Add graham cracker crumbs and beat on medium speed for 10 seconds
3. Add icing sugar and butter, beat until completely combined, put aside
4. Melt the chocolate on a double boiler, stir until smooth
5. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper, scoop out 1 tablespoon worth of filling and use your hands to form it into a ball, repeat the process until all the filling has been shaped
6. One by one, using a fork, dip each ball into the chocolate. Roll the ball around from side to side to cover almost the entire peanut butter center, leaving a small part uncovered
7. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
8. Buckeyes will keep for up to 3 days, tightly covered, in the refrigerator
