Ingredients
- Truffles:
- Optional Substitutions:
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combinepeanut butter,powdered sugar,vanilla extract,salt, andcrushed graham crackers. Mix thoroughly until a thick, pliable dough forms. If the mixture feels too sticky, add more crushed graham crackers.
- Using a small scoop or spoon, portion out the dough and roll it into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray to prevent sticking. Once all the dough is shaped, freeze the tray for about 30 minutes. This step ensures the truffles hold their shape during the chocolate dipping process.
- While the truffles are chilling, melt thesemi-sweet chocolate chipswith the optionalcoconut oil. Use a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler for a gentler process.
- Remove the chilled truffles from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle in the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle withcrushed peanutsorcookie crumbsfor added texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 1 hour or until the chocolate is fully set. Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and chocolaty goodness.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate chips for a smoother coating and richer taste.
For a perfectly round shape, roll the dough balls between your palms after freezing them for a few minutes.
A drizzle of white chocolate can add an elegant touch to the truffles.
If you don’t have a double boiler, place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water to melt the chocolate evenly.
