Score at your next basketball party with these hard to resist peanut butter and chocolate truffles shaped and decorated as mini basketballs!

Score at your next basketball party with these hard to resist peanut butter and chocolate truffles shaped and decorated as mini basketballs!

Basketball has been one of my favorite spots. May it be because it was the only sport game I played it in middle school and highscool. We were divided in two teams. half of us played handball, the other half basketball. I always found a way to be on the basketball team.

Now, years later, basketball is still my favorite game. I’m not a football person at all. I doubt I can name 5 football teams, don’t know when is the big game day or who took home the trophy, but ask me about basketball and I can tell you everything.

Whenever there’s a game on TV it is game day here! Snacks, finger foods, little sweet treats all make their appearance in the family room and one by one we find a comfy place to watch the game. A few times, depending on who’s playing we make in home bets – the prize can be anything from a candy to cleaning the dishes. Nothing fancy, but boy, it’s so fun! (especially when someone else will do the dishes).

Reese's peanut butter and chocolate truffles

When I was approached to participate in REESE’S® Baking Bracket Challenge this basketball season I felt like I score the winning ball! Creating a recipe that screams basketball? That’s no brainer! Chocolate and peanut butter truffles, I mean basketballs!

These edible basketballs can be the winning prize to any party! There are so cute and they combine two of my absolutely favorite ingredients – chocolate and peanut butter!

There’s chocolate, lots of it, inside the truffles mixed with chopped REESE’S® Peanut Butter Cups. That’s not all! Once the truffles are shaped they are dipped in peanut butter coating and a few stripes of melted chocolate to resemble the basketballs.

I don’t know how you wanna call them but these chocolate peanut butter truffles are a 3 point hoop! Score!

Would you like to score too? How about a $100 Walmart gift card? You do? Here’s how :

Go to the voting tab of REESE’S® Baking Bracket Challenge and choose which treats, in your opinion, would make a great impression on game day. (voting for my chocolate peanut butter truffles would make me super-duper happy)

Once you complete all the Match-Ups, you’re entered for a change to win $100 Walmart gift card. A winner is picked every day! How fabulous is that?!
