Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Truffles

How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Truffles

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Mixture

1. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
2. Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

1. Scoop about a tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
2. Place the peanut butter balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm.

Step 3: Melt the Chocolate and Coat the Truffles

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
2. Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
3. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and, if desired, sprinkle with crushed peanuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Step 4: Let the Chocolate Set and Enjoy!

1. Allow the chocolate to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate the truffles for a few minutes to speed up the process.
2. Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
