Description
Smooth, rich and delicious healthy chocolate peanut butter truffles are perfect for the holidays or as a special treat any time of the year!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup peanut butter powder
- 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 Tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- pinch of salt
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (you may need more or less depending on how much chocolate stays on your truffles when dipping them).
Instructions
- Place all ingredients except the chocolate in a medium bowl; stir until well combined.
- Taking about 1 teaspoon at a time, roll mixture into balls.
- Heat the chocolate in a medium size double boiler. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in your microwave, 30 seconds at a time until just melted, then stir until fully melted.
- Roll/dip the peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate until full covered. Transfer to a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to allow to set. For quicker set up, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
- You can store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.
Notes
- I prefer using a double boiler, like this one (affiliate link), so the chocolate will stay melted and smooth (and not burnt) while I dip all of the peanut butter balls in the chocolate.
- I like to use these tools (affiliate link) – specifically the spiral one – to help with rolling and dipping the peanut butter balls in the chocolate.
