Yay…raced to the finishing line; 7 recipes on 7 consecutive days! That’s something for a blog which has seen a lull for a very long time!
Some more demanding priorities had forced me to neglect My Foodcourt for a long time. I wanted to get back here and Nupur’s call made me jump at the opportunity. The only hurdle was that, I was on the move for the first 2-3 days, but Auto scheduling posts took care of that.
The Marathon and the year will end on a sweet note : Peanut Butter Bites
This quick and simple recipe is from Tarla Dalal’s ‘The Chocolate Cookbook’. Me and my little one had a great time making these chocolate bites.
The choco bites have turned out a bit messy looking and not the perfect shape as I would have liked them to be, but with a 4 ½ old year helping me and kept busy I was least bothered about the appearance! These are absolutely delicious chocolaty bites; don’t go by the looks!
Peanut Butter Bites recipe:
- 125 gms dark chocolate (or light or white)
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/3 cups icing sugar
- xbc cups Cocoa powder
- Mix the filling ingredients together.
- Roll out into small lemon sized balls. (Refrigerate if required)
- Meanwhile melt the chocolate in a double boiler. Take care to see that the base of the bowl is not in contact with the water in the double boiler.
- Once the chocolate starts melting, stir continuously till the chocolate melts completely and resembles a smooth sauce
- Remove from the double boiler.
- Cool the chocolate to room temperature stirring continuously, so that the chocolate cools evenly and no lumps remain.
- Coat the peanut butter balls with the chocolate on all sides and place on a cookie tray with butter paper.
- I decorated the bites with some colored sprinkles, though the recipe does not say so.
- Refrigerate till the chocolate hardens.
Wish You all a very Happy New year ! See you in the New year…..

Oh, Madhuli, wait till my daughter (17 yo) sees this! She just LOVES peanut butter — with the chocolate it’s too much to resist.
Your candy bites look so pretty — who wants uniform factory-looking candy anyway? I much prefer these 🙂
