Indulge in the rich and creamy decadence of these homemade Peanut Butter Truffles. A perfect blend of smooth peanut butter filling coated in luscious dark chocolate, these truffles are a delightful treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Peanut Butter Center

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif preferred)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or more to taste)
  • 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar (no need to sift)

For the Coating

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate chips (Nestlé Dark Chocolate Morsels recommended)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil (solid at room temperature)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Center: In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated. Gradually add the powdered sugar and stir until the mixture becomes thick and dough-like.
  2. Form the Truffles: Scoop out small portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. Once all the truffles are shaped, place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to set.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
  4. Coat the Truffles: Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate, then place the truffle back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Let the Chocolate Set: Once all the truffles are coated, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
  6. Serve: Once the truffles are set, serve them chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your rich, creamy peanut butter truffles!

Notes

  • For a variation, try rolling the truffles in crushed nuts or cocoa powder before the chocolate sets.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
