Ingredients
Method
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.
