Sea Salt Peanut Butter Crunch Truffles
These peanut butter truffles are like a Reese's but better. Soft, with a little crunch, and sweet, with a little salt. You'll want to bring these to your next party (or keep them all for yourself). Yield: Roughly 24 1 inch truffles. May make more or less depending on how big you make them!
Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
- 6 tbsp butter softened to room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup toasted rice cereal
- Pinch of salt
- Flaky sea salt for topping
- 1 12 oz bag of chocolate of choice I use semi sweet or dark
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine peanut butter and butter until the mixture is uniform and there are no chunks of butter remaining
- Add vanilla and salt and stir together to combine
- Add powdered sugar and mix until you have a smooth, creamy consistency
- Fold in the rice krispies gently by hand until they're fully incorporated
- Scoop roughly 1 inch balls (or roll by hand) onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet
- Put entire sheet in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up
- Meanwhile, melt your chocolate of choice in the microwave in 30 second increments
- Dip your cooled peanut butter truffles into the chocolate, letting any excess drip off
- Top with flaky sea salt and allow to set in the fridge for 30-60 minutes, so the chocolate hardens
- Enjoy!
