Method
 

Preparation
  1. Melt unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add miniature marshmallows and stir until smooth.
  3. Pour in creamy peanut butter and dulce de leche, blending until silky.
  4. Remove from heat and fold in 4 cups of dry roasted peanuts.
  5. Scoop out the mixture using a large tablespoon and drop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze for 2-4 hours.
Dipping
  1. Melt Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers in a clear glass bowl.
  2. Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate using a toothpick, tapping off excess.
  3. Return dipped truffles to the lined baking sheet and press a peanut on top of each.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. Consider double-dipping for a thicker chocolate shell or rolling in sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
