Ingredients

• 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter and unsalted butter together using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 2

Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until a thick dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar until it comes together.

Step 3

Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all of the mixture is used.

Step 4

Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm.

Step 5

While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-20 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth.

Step 6

Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 7

Immediately sprinkle each coated truffle with a small pinch of sea salt flakes before the chocolate hardens.

Step 8

Let the truffles set at room temperature or transfer the tray to the refrigerator to speed up the process.

Step 9

Once the chocolate has fully hardened, your chocolate peanut butter truffles are ready to serve. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
