These decadent peanut butter truffles are a perfect blend of smooth peanut butter and creamy chocolate, making for an irresistible treat that’s simple to make!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250g) smooth peanut butter
  • 6 tablespoons (90g) butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instructions

  • Mix the Peanut Butter Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and softened butter until smooth and well-combined.
  • Add the Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until fully incorporated into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the peanut butter mixture for 30 minutes to firm it up.
  • Form the Truffles: Roll the chilled peanut butter mixture into small balls and arrange them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Melt the Chocolate: Chop the dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl. Add the coconut oil and set the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir until the chocolate has completely melted. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Dip the Truffles: Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, gently shaking to remove any excess chocolate. Place the truffles back on the baking tray.
  • Set the Truffles: Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the chocolate to set.

Notes

  • You can use milk chocolate or white chocolate if you prefer a sweeter or creamier flavor.
  • For added texture, you can sprinkle crushed peanuts or sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets.
  • Store the truffles in the fridge to keep them firm, and enjoy them within a week.
