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.
