To make the truffles, place the caster sugar and glucose in a thick-bottomed pan
400g of caster sugar
400g of glucose

Place on a medium-high heat and stir until dissolved, then raise the temperature and cook until a deep golden brown colour
3
Add the cream and butter, taking care as it will splatter. Cook to 115°C, stirring continuously
500g of double cream
300g of butter, diced and chilled

Remove from the heat, allow to cool for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the peanut butter. Add the salt and mix well
100g of peanut butter, crunchy
14g of salt

Pour into a lined tray or plastic container, cover and place in the fridge until set - overnight will give best results

Once set, roll into 15g balls then roll in the chopped peanuts. Place back in the fridge to set and prepare the melted chocolate
400g of peanuts, roasted, skinned and chopped

Once the truffles have set again, roll in the melted chocolate. Remove a little of the excess with your hands and drop them into the cocoa powder, one by one
475g of milk chocolate, melted
100g of cocoa powder, 100%

Shake the truffles in the cocoa powder until covered and carefully transfer onto another tray. Repeat until all of the truffles are coated

Keep in a sealed box in the fridge until needed. 15 minutes before serving, remove from the fridge so the truffles can come up to room temperature
