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
- With an electric mixer, beat together the peanut butter and butter on medium-high speed until combined.
- Reduce the speed to low and slowly add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
- Scoop a heaping teaspoon of the batter, roll it into a ball, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture.
- Refrigerate the baking sheet for 1 hour to let the peanut butter set.
- Once the peanut butter has set, melt the milk chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
- Using a fork, dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate and place them onto a parchment-lined sheet pan.
- Melt the dark chocolate in a small mixing bowl in the microwave, stirring after each 30-second interval until melted.
- 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.
- Let the chocolate set completely and then enjoy.
Notes
- You can use any type of nut butter if you prefer a different flavor.
- These truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
