Prep Time 5 minutes
Total Time 5 minutes
Yield 10 truffles

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (or allergy friendly sub)
  • 2 tbsp honey or pure maple syrup, or powdered sweetener of choice
  • 3 tbsp coconut oil or butter
  • 3 oz chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 tsp vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  • If using natural peanut butter, gently warm it until easy to stir. Melt the three tablespoons butter or coconut oil, then stir it with the softened peanut butter and sweetener in a mixing bowl or stand mixer until completely smooth. (If you are using both powdered sweetener and a spoon to mix, you may need an additional tablespoon of oil to achieve a smooth texture.) Refrigerate or freeze the mixture until firm, and line a large plate or baking tray with wax or parchment paper. Scoop out truffle sized balls with a small cookie scoop or a spoon. Place on the prepared plate, and enjoy plain. Or carefully melt the chocolate chips, stir in the optional two teaspoons of oil, and dip the peanut butter truffles into the melted chocolate. Place the chocolate coated candies back onto the lined plate to set.
