Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Crushed pretzels
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or shortening)
- Extra crushed pretzels or sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and crushed pretzels. Mix until well incorporated and the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the truffle balls are firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Remove the truffle balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
If desired, sprinkle extra crushed pretzels or a pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets.
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
Once set, the truffles are ready to serve! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
