Ingredients

  • 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
  • 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil
  • 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and holds together like dough.

Step 2

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into approximately 12 small, bite-sized balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 3

Freeze the peanut butter balls for 10-15 minutes to make them easier to work with during the coating process.

Step 4

While the truffles are chilling, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.

Step 5

Remove the truffles from the freezer and, using a fork or skewer, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Roll it around to ensure it's fully coated, then transfer back to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 6

Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of each truffle for added flavor and texture.

Step 7

Let the truffles set for about 10 minutes at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Step 8

Serve immediately or store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
