Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup crisped rice cereal
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups milk chocolate chips for coating

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Cookie scoop or melon baller
  • Baking sheet
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Use a spatula to mix until everything is well combined and smooth.
  2. Gently fold in the crisped rice cereal into the peanut butter mixture, ensuring even distribution.
  3. Using a cookie scoop or melon baller, portion out the mixture and roll it into small balls, about one inch in diameter. Place the formed truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the truffles are firm to the touch.
  5. Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  7. Let the chocolate-coated truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate has set, or refrigerate for a quicker process.
  8. Once the chocolate has hardened, your truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Store them in an airtight container.

Notes

  • Use natural peanut butter for a healthier option.
  • Sift powdered sugar before use to prevent lumps.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
