Peanut Butter Truffles

Peanut Butter Truffles

You guys! These no-bake peanut butter truffles were so much fun to make and my kids love them. I decided to switch up this week’s school lunch treat with something fun and different. These peanut butter truffles are rich, decadent, and so delicious. Originally, I was going to drizzle milk chocolate on top but in the end, I decided to sprinkle some freshly roasted peanut crumbs instead and I am glad I did. I loved the added texture and flavor they added to these delicious truffles. We all think they are amazing–especially my kids.

Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and one teaspoon of coconut oil in a glass bowl then put into the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. If needed, continue cooking for 10-second increments. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate!

Place the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, coating them completely. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Side Note: I used a fork to scoop the balls from the chocolate and gently shook them to remove the excess chocolate.

Sprinkle the top of the chocolate-coated peanut butter truffles with a few roasted peanut crumbs. Place back into the refrigerator to allow the truffles to set, about 30 minutes. Place each truffle in a mini cupcake liner and store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Enjoy.
