Peanut Butter Truffles | Creamy Chocolate-Dipped Peanut Butter Candy

Peanut Butter Truffles are rich, creamy, and indulgent bite-sized treats made with smooth peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and a decadent chocolate coating. These easy homemade candies combine the irresistible flavors of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate in a delicious no-bake dessert.

The soft peanut butter filling is mixed until smooth, chilled, and shaped into small balls before being dipped in melted chocolate. A final sprinkle of chopped peanuts, sea salt, or chocolate drizzle adds extra texture and flavor. The result is a creamy peanut butter center surrounded by a crisp chocolate shell.

These Peanut Butter Truffles are perfect for holidays, Christmas cookie trays, Valentine's Day, parties, homemade gifts, dessert tables, or whenever you're craving a quick chocolate-peanut butter treat. They require minimal ingredients and no oven, making them an easy dessert for beginners.

Cooking Method

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix until a thick, smooth dough forms.
Refrigerate the mixture for 30–45 minutes to firm it up.
Scoop small portions and roll them into smooth balls.
Place the peanut butter balls on a parchment-lined tray.
Freeze for 15–20 minutes to make dipping easier.
Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil or shortening in a microwave-safe bowl using 20–30 second intervals, stirring after each interval.
Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate.
Use a fork to lift the truffle and allow excess chocolate to drip away.
Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper.
Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, flaky sea salt, or other toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
