Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt flakes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and unsalted butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until a thick dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar until it comes together.
Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.
Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm.
While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-20 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.
Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle each coated truffle with a small pinch of sea salt flakes before the chocolate hardens.
Let the truffles set at room temperature or transfer the tray to the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has fully hardened, your chocolate peanut butter truffles are ready to serve. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
