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

Method
 

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling
  1. 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
  1. 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.
  2. 💡 Tip: If it’s too sticky, chill the mixture for 10 minutes in the fridge before rolling.
Step 3: Roll the Truffles
  1. 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
  1. Refrigerate the truffles for about 20 minutes to firm up. This makes dipping them in chocolate much easier.
Step 5: Melt the Chocolate
  1. 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
  1. 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.
  2. Sprinkle chopped peanuts or sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets (optional).
Step 7: Chill and Serve
  1. 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.
