Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup (96g) almond flour
- 3/4 cup (90g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups (270g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup almond flour, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and well combined, about 3-4 minutes. If dough is too sticky, chill in fridge for 10 minutes.
- Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion dough into 1-inch balls. Roll between palms to smooth. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between until smooth.
- Dip each chilled dough ball into melted chocolate, coating fully. Let excess drip off and place back on parchment paper.
- Refrigerate coated truffles for 15-20 minutes until chocolate hardens. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
Chilling the dough before dipping helps maintain shape and prevents melting. Use powdered sugar for smooth texture. Melt chocolate in short bursts to avoid burning. Slightly damp hands help prevent dough from sticking when rolling. Variations include adding cocoa powder, cinnamon, or using sunflower seed butter for nut-free option.
