Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1 cup smooth, creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips (for coating)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and holds together well when pressed.
  2. Shape the Truffles: Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the peanut butter mixture and gently roll into bite-sized balls with your hands. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the shaped peanut butter balls for about 30 minutes to firm up, which helps prevent melting during dipping and keeps their shape intact.
  4. Melt the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, gently melt your chosen chocolate chips until smooth and glossy, stirring often to avoid burning.
  5. Dip and Coat: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper to let excess chocolate drip off.
  6. Set and Serve: Refrigerate the chocolate-covered truffles for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, the truffles are ready to enjoy or gift.

Notes

  • Use quality peanut butter for the best flavor and freshness.
  • Do not skip chilling steps to maintain shape and prevent melting during dipping.
  • If melted chocolate is too thick, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to smooth it out.
  • Work quickly while dipping as chocolate hardens fast.
  • When storing, separate layers of truffles with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
