Description

These Peanut Butter Truffles are smooth, rich, and dipped in chocolate for the ultimate bite-sized dessert. With just a few simple ingredients, they come together quickly and require no baking – perfect for holidays, parties, or as a freezer-friendly treat!


Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

 

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)


Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.

  • Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until a soft dough forms. The mixture should be firm enough to roll into balls.

  • Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.

  • While the truffles chill, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  • Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, letting excess chocolate drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.

  • Optional: Sprinkle with sea salt, crushed peanuts, or drizzle with white chocolate before the coating sets.

 

  • Chill the truffles in the fridge for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.


Notes

  • Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

 

  • You can swap peanut butter for almond or sunflower seed butter for an allergy-friendly version.
