Raise your right hand high if you love chocolate!
Raise your left hand high if you love peanut butter!
How many of you have BOTH hands in the air?? Thought so!
My Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cannolis are deliciously different, fun and easy to make. People will reach for more. To save time, buy your cannoli shells from your market, Italian deli or local pizza shop (many of them make cannoli).
Did you know that today, March 25, is Chocolate Peanut Butter Day? It is!! Funny how there are so many obscure “days” on the calendar. This one however is delicious!! My foodie friends Carla of Chocolate Moosey and Miriam of Overtime Cook decided it would be really fun to gather a group of food bloggers together to celebrate the deliciousness of all that is chocolate & peanut butter. Today 31 of us are sharing what we came up with. To follow along the fun and deliciousness look for #chocPBday on your favorite social media streams. For more deliciousness than most of us mere mortals can handle, follow our Pinterest board.
If you love Chocolate & Peanut Butter… You just have to try my 4 Ingredient Chocolate & Peanut Butter Squares…they are one of the first posts I did here on Souffle Bombay and the most popular to date. Oprah even Pinned them!
4 cannoli shells
3/4 cup peanut butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3 TBS butter, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup heavy cream
Chocolate chips and powdered sugar for garnish.
Just before serving, fill each cannoli shell with the filling, piping some into each end. You can simply use a baggie that seals (or a pastry bag), snip of one corner to allow a 1/2 inch opening. Place opening into each side of the cannoli shell and squeeze until filled. Decorate the ends of each cannoli with chocolate chips, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
You can also throw in chocolate chips into the peanut butter filling if you like to have chocolate chips throughout. Your preference.
Enjoy!!

Peanut butter cups
Robyn Wright of RobynsOnlineWorld.com says
I can't help but love peanut butter cups – they were a special treat my dad would get for me when I was a little girl so there is a sentimental attachment. These cannolis may give them a run for their money though!
kmcgrew213 says
buckeye balls!
Rod says
when filling the Cannoli shells I used my Jerky gun with a round attachment lot easier than a baggie or pastry bag
Colleen says
Wow, great tip! Thanks!!
Colleen says
Hi Ann, Yes, I find them at Italian Markets and even my local ACME grocery store.

Wow the ingredients are truly healthful and easy to procure. It’s easy to prepare too. Thanks for sharing!

Yummy! I really want to try it.
Matteo says
Cannolo=singular, Cannoli=plural. Never cannoliS.
Colleen says
Thanks for the education!
Lois says
Where’s the ricotta? No ricotta, not a canolli. Sounds really yummy, but not a real canolli
Colleen says
You could certainly add ricotta in…This was just a fun (and delicious)play on a cannoli
MyKetoPartner says
I truly can’t resist these kinds of recipes! Thanks for sharing!
Colleen says
Enjoy!!
Blondie says
This is not an Italian Canoli. I have had peanut butter cannolis with ricotta cheese in them.
Colleen says
It’s my fun take on a cannoli.
