Ingredients
  

  • For the Peanut Butter Filling
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons butter softened
  • 1½ to 2 cups powdered sugar as needed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Chocolate Coating
  • cups chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional, for smoother chocolate
  • Optional Toppings
  • Colorful sprinkles
  • Sea salt flakes

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, add the peanut butter and softened butter. Mix until smooth and combined.
  2. Add the vanilla extract and stir gently.
  3. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing by hand. Continue adding until the mixture forms a thick dough that holds its shape and doesn’t stick to your hands.
  4. Take small portions of the dough and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
  5. Transfer the tray to the freezer for 8–10 minutes to firm up the truffles.
  6. While the truffles chill, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round. Add coconut oil if using.
  7. Remove truffles from the freezer. Dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  8. Place coated truffles back on parchment paper and immediately add sprinkles or salt before the chocolate sets.
  9. Let the truffles rest until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate for faster setting.

Notes

If the dough feels too sticky, add more powdered sugar a little at a time.
If it feels too dry, mix in a small spoon of peanut butter.
These truffles taste even better chilled the next day.
