Description
Delicious truffles with a smooth peanut butter center enveloped in glossy chocolate, perfect for gifting or enjoying at home.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter and creamy peanut butter until smooth and fragrant (about 1–2 minutes).
- Add the vanilla, then gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing after each addition until you have a thick, pliable dough (2–3 minutes).
- Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion the dough, then roll into 1-inch balls (about 24–28 truffles). Chill on a parchment-lined tray for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off before placing back on parchment.
- While the chocolate is still wet, add desired toppings and let set at room temperature for 10–20 minutes or faster in the fridge (5–10 minutes).
- Enjoy at room temperature for the best texture experience.
Notes
For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free chocolate chips. Make-ahead options available.
