Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • A pinch of salt
  • Chopped peanuts or sprinkles for garnish optional

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the peanut butter, softened butter, and maple syrup until smooth. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, stirring until everything is creamy and blended.

Step 2: Add Powdered Sugar

  • Gradually add powdered sugar, about half a cup at a time, and stir until a soft dough forms. It should be thick enough to roll into balls without sticking to your hands.
  • 💡 Tip: If it’s too sticky, chill the mixture for 10 minutes in the fridge before rolling.

Step 3: Roll the Truffles

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into smooth balls. Place them on the baking sheet.

Step 4: Chill the Balls

  • Refrigerate the truffles for about 20 minutes to firm up. This makes dipping them in chocolate much easier.

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and shiny.

Step 6: Dip and Decorate

  • Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let the excess drip off, then place it back on the parchment paper.
  • Sprinkle chopped peanuts or sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets (optional).

Step 7: Chill and Serve

  • Place the tray in the fridge for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Once set, your No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles are ready to enjoy!

Notes

  • Use room-temperature peanut butter for the smoothest filling.
  • Always chill before dipping to help the chocolate coating stick better.
  • Don’t overheat the chocolate — it can seize up quickly.
  • You can double the recipe easily if you’re making for a crowd.
