Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and holds together like dough.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into approximately 12 small, bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the peanut butter balls for 10-15 minutes to make them easier to work with during the coating process.
While the truffles are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Remove the truffles from the freezer and, using a fork or skewer, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Roll it around to ensure it's fully coated, then transfer back to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle for added flavor and texture.
Let the truffles set for about 10 minutes at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Serve immediately or store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
