Delicious Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
12
  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips (For melting)
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar (Adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Crushed graham crackers (For texture)
  • 1 cup Cocoa powder (For dusting)
  • 1 pinch Salt

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Mix Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth.

    Use a hand mixer for a creamier texture.
  2. Add Texture

    If using, fold in crushed graham crackers to the mixture for added texture.

    You can adjust the amount of graham crackers based on preference.
  3. Chill Mixture

    Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes until it firms up.

    This makes it easier to roll into truffles.
  4. Shape Truffles

    Once chilled, scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls.

    Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
  5. Melt Chocolate

    In a double boiler or microwave, melt the chocolate chips until smooth.

    Stir frequently to avoid burning.
  6. Coat Truffles

    Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper.

    Use a fork for easier dipping.
  7. Dust with Cocoa

    If desired, dust the truffles with cocoa powder for a finishing touch.

    You can also use crushed nuts or sprinkles.
  8. Chill Again

    Refrigerate the coated truffles for another 30 minutes until set.

    Store in an airtight container.
