Peanutty-ness

When I told Jon I was going to try to make the oreo truffles with peanut butter instead of oreo he wasn't convinced.
Jon: Peanut butter and chocolate isn't my favorite, but I bet they'll be good.
Kate: No, no chocolate - all peanut butter.
Jon: But you can't dip them in peanut butter, it's not melty like Chocolate

He was right on that count, but my truffles were more of an inside out oreo truffle - instead of oreos on the inside and chocolate on the outside, these would have peanut butter on the inside and peanuts on the outside. When I was done making them, Jon still wasn't so sure.

Jon: But what's going to make them sweet? The chocolate made them really rich with the oreo truffles.
Kate: There's vanilla, cinammon, and sugar - they'll be sweet.

He didn't want to like them, I could tell. He was fighting it. But one bite and he was sold.
Jon: I don't think I'll be gulping these down like the oreo ones, but these are really good!

I always know best.
