The Perfect Dessert for Any Occasion

I love to decorate with sprinkles, and these truffles are perfect for pretty much any holiday. I am going to show you the every day version and I have also made a Christmas Truffle version to show you how versatile they are.

Here are some other ways you can decorate the truffles for other holidays too!

Christmas: Sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles. Melt some additional white chocolate and use some red and green food coloring and drizzle over the white chocolate truffles.

Valentine’s Day: Sprinkle with red and pink sprinkles or Valentine’s Day themed sprinkles. Drizzle with red and pink chocolate. You can also change the white chocolate to milk chocolate

Halloween: Drizzle with orange-colored chocolate and sprinkle with Halloween themed sprinkles.

Ingredients / Shopping List

• Powdered sugar
• Creamy or chunky peanut butter

How to Make the Peanut Butter Truffles

1. Combine powdered sugar, peanut butter, and butter.

Cookie Scoop – this makes it much easier to get the perfect size scoop of the dough. This is a set of 3 so you always will have the right size!

Chocolate Dipping Tool – I love this set! If you have ever had to fish a truffle out of chocolate you will understand! This makes it SO much easier!

Silicone Baking Mat: – This is a kitchen MUST HAVE! I use them for everything… making cookies, sheet pan dinners and so much more!

Tips

• This recipe makes about 18-20 bites, depending on how big you roll them.
• Don’t worry about the bites not being in perfect ball shapes. Once they are chilled, you can reshape them right before dipping them into the chocolate. You can also dip them twice for a thicker shell.
• Melt half of the chocolate to use first. Depending on the size of your truffles you may not need an entire pound.
• Any unused chocolate, I pour onto a piece of parchment paper and let it harden, then place it in a Ziploc bag to use later.
• I sprinkled the tops with shredded sweetened coconut, crushed peanuts, melted white chocolate, and sprinkles. Sprinkle the topping onto the freshly dipped truffle before the chocolate is completely dried.
• I have also used color candy melts for themed parties and holidays! 

How to Store

Our truffles should be stored in an airtight container. I would recommend placing wax paper (or parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.)

They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 2 months. (Just thaw frozen truffles in the fridge overnight!)
