Nigella recipe

I was watching Nigella the other night and she made something. I can't remember what it was called and I can't find it on her website. She mixed peanut butter with icing sugar and topped it off with chocolate. I'm wanting the recipe if anyone has it or can help that would be great

What series is being shown! That would help to narrow down which book it's from.

It was on earlier this week. It was part of her Xmas series.

Since I'm not in NZ that wasn't particularly helpful, but I have managed to find what recipe it is and you can get it here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/nigella-lawson/chocolate-peanut-butter-cups-recipe/index.html

Looks similar to this truffle recipe I have just posted in the Truffle thread.

NATASJA'S PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Combine:
1 cup extra-chunky peanut butter
1 cup rice bubbles
1 cup sifted icing sugar
3 Tablespoons soft butter

Mix very well and roll into small balls.Put into fridge to chill for several hours.

Melt 375gm chocolate melts (instead I use 1 large block Whittaker's Dark Ghana 72% cocoa solids, to offset the sweetness)

Bring water to boil in saucepan, take off heat, fit bowl with broken chocolate on top, but don't let the bowl touch the water. Stir till melted - about 4 minutes.

Dip chilled balls in chocolate and put on baking paper. Chill in fridge, and keep stored there.

Notes:
+ I used a jar of Pic's salted peanut butter.
+ Natasja said she sometimes adds extra chopped roasted peanuts, though I haven't.
+ Always use good quality chocolate, not compound stuff (a friend used cheap melts and ended up with a lumpy finish).
+ I used two table forks to dip the balls in the chocolate but I think there is a gadget that probably makes a neater job.

Edited to add:You can keep these at room temperature, because there's no ingredient to spoil, but I like the chill of the fridge that keeps them extra firm.
