Instructions

Prepare The Peanut Butter Mixture

  • Take a large mixing bowl, measure out 3/4 cup of smooth peanut butter, and add to it.
  • Mix 2 tbsp of softened butter and use a hand mixer or whisk to combine them until the mixture is smooth.

Add Powdered Sugar, Vanilla and Salt

  • Pour 1 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract, and Sprinkle a pinch of salt into the peanut butter mixture.
  • Beat again until the sugar is well combined.

Form The Truffle Balls

  • Place the truffle batter in the refrigerator to chill for at least 20 to 30 minutes before making balls.
  • Once chilled, scoop out 1 tbsp of the peanut butter mixture and roll each portion into a ball using your hands.
  • Place the truffle balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
  • Once all the balls are formed, refrigerate the truffle balls for an hour to firm up.

Add Coconut Oil and Melt The Chocolate

  • While the peanut balls are chilling, take 115 grams of dark chocolate and chop them into small pieces.
  • Place the chopped chocolate into a heatproof ball and add 1 tsp of coconut oil to it.
  • Set the bowl over a pot of simmering water and let the chocolate melt completely,
  • If you are using a microwave oven, melt it in 30-second increments in the microwave and stir it in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  • Allow the melted chocolate to cool for 5-10 minutes before using it as a coating for the peanut balls.

Dip The Peanut Balls

  • Once the peanut butter balls are chilled, dip each ball into the melted chocolate and coat them evenly.
  • Shake the balls gently to remove any excess dripping and place them back onto the baking tray.

Chill, Serve and Enjoy!
