Description
Creamy peanut butter cookie dough wrapped in a silky chocolate coating, these no-bake truffles are the ultimate indulgence for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
- 1 cup (250g) peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups (155g) heat-treated all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (85g) mini chocolate chips
- 2 cups (350g) chocolate chips or melting chocolate for coating
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup unsalted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 cup peanut butter until smooth.
- Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and mix well.
- Gradually stir in 1 1/4 cups heat-treated all-purpose flour until fully combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
- Fold in 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to make it easier to roll into balls.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the dough balls for 15-20 minutes to firm them up.
- Melt 2 cups chocolate chips or melting chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each chilled dough ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift and let excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and add toppings if desired.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate sets, approximately 15-20 minutes.
Notes
Chill the dough and truffles to ensure they hold their shape during dipping. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate for a smoother finish. Store truffles in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
