Ingredients

For the Filling

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
  • 2 Tbsps Half and Half

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the the crunchy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and half and half. Stir together until well combined.
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon to drop 17 small dollops of Peanut Butter onto the parchment paper.
  • Roll the peanut butter into balls between the palm of your hands.
  • In a microwave safe bowl combine the chocolate chips and one tablespoon of heavy cream. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir together, then stir in the second tablespoon of heavy cream until the chocolate is smooth.
  • Place a peanut butter ball on the shelf of the fork, (don't poke the peanut butter ball because it may make it fall apart) then lower it into the chocolate. Use the fork to roll the peanut butter ball around in the chocolate until it's completely coated.
  • Place the chocolate peanut butter ball onto the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Repeat the process until all the peanut butter balls are coated.
  • Place the tray of chocolate peanut butter truffles in the fridge for 30 minutes, until completely set.
  • Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
