Description

Delicious chocolate-covered peanut butter truffles that are easy to make and incredibly satisfying.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup chunky peanut butter (not natural)
  • ½ cup salted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces milk chocolate candy melts
  • ½ cup milk or dark chocolate candy melts (for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. With an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter and butter on medium-high speed until combined.
  2. Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  3. Scoop a heaping teaspoon of the batter, roll it into a ball, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture.
  5. Refrigerate the baking sheet for 1 hour to let the peanut butter set.
  6. Once the peanut butter has set, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
  7. Using a fork, dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate and place them onto a parchment-lined sheet pan.
  8. Melt the dark chocolate in a small mixing bowl in the microwave, stirring after each 30-second interval until melted.
  9. Transfer the dark chocolate to a large resealable bag and cut off a small tip from the corner, and drizzle the dark chocolate over the truffles.
  10. Let the chocolate set completely and then enjoy.
