Description

These truffles bring together the rich flavor of peanut butter and chocolate, coated in a crispy crunch. The combination of chewy, nutty filling, and smooth chocolate creates a treat that’s simply irresistible. Easy to prepare and perfect for sharing!

Ingredients
  • 3 cups crispy peanut butter cereal squares (such as Peanut Butter Chex™)
  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Place the Chex cereal in a large plastic bag and crush it into fine pieces using a rolling pin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the crushed Chex, 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar, and peanut butter until evenly mixed.
  3. Freeze the mixture for about 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch.
  4. While the mixture chills, melt the semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  5. Add the coconut oil to the melted chocolate and stir to combine.
  6. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Use a 2-teaspoon cookie scoop to portion the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll the balls between your hands to shape them and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a wooden pick or fork, then return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Refrigerate the truffles for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  10. Dust the truffles with the remaining 1/4 cup of confectioner’s sugar before serving.
