| Toddler Truffles |
Happy day after Groundhog Day! Wait, that's not it.
It seems like there is something big planned for today...maybe a special game or something. We are not big sports fans around here. Many of our friends are attending Super Bowl watch parties but we don't even know who is playing. That said, we will be enjoying some amazing snacks! Never miss a chance to have some good food! We will be enjoying this recipe from the fabulous Toddler Cafe Cookbook. It is one of my favorite cookbooks for the younger set as the recipes are not only healthy but innovative. I recommend the Swamp Soup.
Toddler Truffles
- 1 15 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts
- 4 tbsp butter, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- Pinch kosher salt
- 2 eggs
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Butter a 8x8 baking dish. Add all but powdered sugar to food processor. Blend. Pour batter into prepared dish and bake 30 to 40 minutes. Truffles will pull away from pan when done. They will still be a little soft. If you are three and very impatient you can eat them straight from the pan. Or you can wait until it is cool and scoop out truffles. Roll into balls and dust with powdered sugar or cocoa powder. We mixed cocoa powder and PB2, which is a powdered peanut butter, to roll our truffles in this time.

Maurene was my helper with this project. She has been helping in the kitchen since she was able to stand. Now, at age 3 1/2 years, she is perfectly able to measure, add, and mix ingredients for a yummy treat. They learn so well at this age, don't discount their abilities.
