Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

Chocolate peanut butter truffles are rich, bite-sized confections with a smooth, creamy peanut butter center coated in a glossy layer of melted chocolate. The process involves mixing, chilling, and shaping the filling before dipping in chocolate, resulting in a melt-in-your-mouth texture that’s both sweet and nutty. These truffles showcase a perfect balance of textures—soft inside and firm exterior—creating an indulgent treat that looks as tempting as it tastes.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter smooth or crunchy
  • 1/4 cup honey to sweeten the peanut butter mixture
  • 2 cups dark chocolate chips for coating
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil to help melt the chocolate smoothly

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Double Boiler or Microwave
  • Small Spoon or Melon Ball Scoop

Method
 

  1. Combine the peanut butter and honey in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy, using a spatula or spoon.
  2. Chill the peanut butter mixture in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes until it firms up enough to scoop easily.
  3. Scoop out small portions using a teaspoon or melon baller and roll them between your palms to form bite-sized balls. Place these on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Set the tray aside and melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  5. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
  6. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes until the chocolate is set.
  7. Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the truffles to a serving plate or store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy these rich, nutty treats whenever craving hits!

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt on the chocolate coating before it sets or roll the truffles in cocoa powder or chopped nuts for variety.
