How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Truffles
Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Mixture
- In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until everything is well incorporated and smooth.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips until they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Step 2: Shape the Truffles
- Scoop about a tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used up.
- Place the peanut butter balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate and Coat the Truffles
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted.
- Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and, if desired, sprinkle with crushed peanuts or sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Step 4: Let the Chocolate Set and Enjoy!
- Allow the chocolate to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate the truffles for a few minutes to speed up the process.
- Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the truffles to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
