Creamy peanut butter truffles<\/h3>\n

A rich chocolate shell covers soft and creamy peanut butter filling in this decadent bite sized peanut butter dessert.<\/p>\n

Whip up a batch for Valentine\u2019s Day, Christmas, or your next fancy dinner party, and everyone will be asking for the recipe.<\/p>\n

The truffles are surprisingly simple to make, with just 3 ingredients<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And unlike many other peanut butter truffle recipes, this one calls for no heavy cream, condensed milk, or cream cheese.<\/p>\n

You probably already have the ingredients in your kitchen right now!<\/p>\n

Serving and storing suggestions<\/h3>\n

Whether coated in chocolate or not, these homemade peanut butter bites are an absolutely delicious and family friendly treat for snack or dessert.<\/p>\n

If you want to be creative, use the truffles to decorate a Peanut Butter Cheesecake<\/a> or a bowl of ice cream (like this Peanut Butter Ice Cream<\/a>).<\/p>\n

To ensure they do not melt, the bites should be kept cold whenever possible. The recipe is best enjoyed straight from the refrigerator or freezer.<\/p>\n

If you are serving them at a party or event, keep in mind that using the options for butter and powdered sugar will yield firmer truffles than the coconut oil version.<\/p>\n

They make great host or hostess gifts but do not fare well on long car trips or when shipped in the mail. For a more shelf stable and travel secure recipe, I highly recommend these chocolate chip peanut butter Energy Balls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While still a dessert best enjoyed in moderation, the recipe is surprisingly healthy, with over three grams of protein per truffle and just 100 calories.<\/p>\n

They can be cholesterol free and low sodium, offering small amounts of calcium, iron, fiber, and potassium as well.<\/p>\n

If you are craving chocolate and peanut butter for breakfast, place a truffle or two on top of your morning oatmeal or a yogurt parfait.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n

Peanut butter \u2013 <\/strong>Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest finish or crunchy peanut butter if you want some texture.<\/p>\n

Natural peanut butter and brands like Skippy work equally well.<\/p>\n

You may swap the pb for almond butter, low carb macadamia butter, or nut free sunflower seed butter if you prefer.<\/p>\n

Sweetener \u2013 <\/strong>My personal preference here is pure maple syrup. Honey, agave, or powdered sugar work too.<\/p>\n

For for keto and sugar free peanut butter truffles, choose a powdered sweetener with no sugar added, such as erythritol or a monk fruit blend.<\/p>\n

Coconut oil \u2013 <\/strong>To make dairy free and vegan peanut butter truffles, go with either refined or unrefined coconut oil.<\/p>\n

Unsalted butter or plant based butter are suitable replacements for coconut oil.<\/p>\n

However, do not substitute olive oil or vegetable oil, because these do not harden when chilled so your peanut butter balls will never set.<\/p>\n

For an oil free option, try these 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls<\/a>.<\/p>\n
