What are Peanut Butter Filled Chocolates?

These peanut butter filled chocolates are square chocolates that include a biscuit hazelnut layer and a peanut butter mascarpone filling. They are then coated in milk chocolate before being drizzled with dark chocolate for a pretty garnish.

Chocolates are a favored treat all throughout the year, but are especially special on holidays like Valentines Day or Christmas. They can include different types of chocolate such as dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate, and an array of fillings such as ganache, creamy coconut fillings, or caramel. These chocolates include a mascarpone peanut butter filling, which sets up easily in the fridge so that it is sliceable and holds its shape when dipped into melted chocolate.

Pro Tips

• To easily crumble the biscuits, you can either process them in a food processor or place them in a sealed bag to crush them with a rolling pin.
• When placing the biscuit mixture in the pan, you can press the mixture with the base of a glass so it forms an even layer.
• Make sure the mascarpone peanut butter mixture is chilled until very solid to ensure it slices easily before dipping it into chocolate.
• Use a measuring tape to ensure that the peanut butter mascarpone layer is cut into even-sized pieces.
• Use two forks to dip the peanut butter mascarpone cubes into the chocolate as this will allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
• Feel free to replace the hazelnuts with other nuts such as peanuts or almonds.

What to Serve with Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate?

These peanut butter filled chocolates can be served on their own or as part of a platter with other types of chocolates or truffles. They also make wonderful additions to a platter of sweet treats such as cookies and cupcakes.

Can I Use Another Type of Nut Butter?

Yes, if you don’t love peanut butter or will be serving these chocolates to someone who is allergic, you could easily replace the peanut butter with almond butter or cashew butter. Alternatively, if you prefer not to use a nut butter at all, you could also replace it with sesame seed butter.

Can I Use Different Cream Cheese Instead of Mascarpone Cheese? 

Yes, if you have a challenging time finding mascarpone cheese where you live, you could replace it with cream cheese instead.

Can I Use Different Chocolate?

Yes, if you prefer not to use milk chocolate, you could easily replace it with melted dark chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or even white chocolate. If you choose to use dark chocolate, you could then garnish it with either melted white chocolate or milk chocolate to achieve a beautiful two-tone effect.
