Ingredients you’ll need

Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these truffles. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.

  • unsalted butter
  • smooth peanut butter: or you can use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
  • vanilla extract
  • salt
  • icing/powdered sugar
  • dark chocolate
  • milk chocolate

How to make No-Bake Peanut Butter Truffles

To make these truffles, beat the butter until light and creamy. Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt, and beat until smooth and combined.

Add the icing sugar, and beat until combined.

The mixture will be crumbly, but you should be able to roll into balls! Roll the dough mixture into 1-inch balls (about 0.5oz each), and place on a large baking tray lined with parchment paper.

You should have about 40 – 45 balls. Refrigerate until firm – about 1 hour.

For the chocolate coating, add the dark chocolate to a microwave-safe bowl, and heat in 30 second intervals, stirring after each one, until melted and smooth. Leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Repeat with the milk chocolate.

Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted dark chocolate, and place back onto the baking tray. Drizzle with the milk chocolate.

Allow to set at room temperature or in the fridge before serving.

  1. This was such an easy recipe. I followed it exactly and for those who don’t know what icing sugar is, it’s confectionery sugar. I did have to use a little extra because mine were a little on the thin side . Taste just like a peanut butter cup. I did use chocolate chips because that’s all I had and I drizzled white chocolate on them. Definitely a keeper .thank you for the recipe
