Ingredients
- 1 yellow cake, prepared according to package instructions, baked and cooled
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¾ cup peanut butter
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup salted peanuts, chopped
- 12-16 decorative cupcake liners
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sugar is dissolved. While still warm, stir in peanut butter. Whisk until evenly blended.
- When cool enough to handle, stir into cake. With clean hands, mix liquid into cake until very well (and evenly) moistened.
- With a medium-size ice cream scoop, spoon cake mixture onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. This should yield about 12 large or about 16 medium-sized cake balls. Freeze until well set, about 1 hour.
- Melt semisweet chocolate in microwave on low setting until just melted. Carefully pick up and coat each cake ball with chocolate; set in cupcake liners. (There isn’t a neat way to do this, so be prepared for some dripping and clean-up.)
- Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top of each cake ball. Quickly sprinkle chopped peanuts on top before chocolate hardens.
