Ingredients
Peanut Butter Filling:
- ¾ cup peanut butter (or other nut/seed butter)
- ¼ cup chocolate chips (any variety/dairy free/vegan)
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
Chocolate Coating:
- 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (any variety/dairy free/vegan)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- sprinkles/chocolate/chopped nuts (optional for decorating)
Instructions
- Heat the peanut butter and chocolate chips in a microwavable bowl for 1 minute, then continue in 15-30 second intervals, if needed, until the peanut butter has softened and chocolate is shiny.
- Stir the peanut butter and chocolate until the chips melt completely. Add in the powdered sugar and stir until it is combined well and smooth. Cool in the fridge until chilled completely, approximately 1 hour.
- Scoop & shape the peanut butter mixture however you’d like, then place in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes to harden.
- In a microwavable bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat for 1 minute, then continue in 15-30 second intervals as needed, until the chocolate is shiny and begins to melt. Stir until completely smooth and the oil has combined with the chocolate.
- Remove the peanut butter shapes from the freezer and quickly dip them into the melted chocolate. Place each truffle on a parchment lined tray to harden. Decorate with anything that needs to stick to the wet chocolate before it sets. If you are drizzling with more chocolate, that can be done after it sets.
- Return to the fridge or freezer until the chocolate hardens and you are ready to serve.
