Chocolate Peanut Butter Mochi
For Sis...
Regular:
With cocoa powder in the mochi:
Original Recipe
3/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 cup mochiko
1-1/2 cup water
potato starch
peanut butter
Combine sugar, mochiko and water in pyrex bowl. Mix well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Stir and cover. Microwave for 5 minutes longer (or until cooked). Dump mochi by spoonful onto surface covered with potato starch. Flatten and fill each piece with a little peanut butter, seal and smooth into round shape.
Makes 12-20 depending on size.
I cannot make this without chocolate, so here is directions for chocolate lovers:
Additional ingredients:
Cocoa powder (about 2 Tbsp)?-- this goes into mochiko mixture and gets microwaved.
Chocolate chips (handful)? depending on how chocolatey you want it.--this gets mixed with peanut butter and microwaved for a few seconds until it starts to melt (20-30 seconds?)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUSSON!
