Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

Recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

Introduction

Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles are a rich, no-bake dessert made with creamy peanut butter and smooth chocolate. These decadent treats are perfect for holidays, parties, or as an indulgent snack. The combination of sweet chocolate and slightly salty peanut butter creates a perfect harmony of flavors.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate (for coating)

Instructions

1. Mix the Peanut Butter Filling:
   In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add powdered sugar until the mixture is thick and slightly crumbly but moldable.
2. Form the Truffles:
   Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm.
3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
   Melt the chocolate in a microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Let it cool slightly to prevent the truffles from melting during coating.
4. Dip the Truffles:
   Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place them back onto the parchment paper.
5. Set the Truffles:
   Allow the coated truffles to set at room temperature, or refrigerate them for quicker results.
6. Optional Decoration:
   Drizzle melted white chocolate or sprinkle sea salt on top for added flair.
