Peanut Butter Truffles

Little balls of rich, gooey peanut butter covered in various toppings.

So simple, yet so delectable.

Although it was kind of time consuming to form each one and carefully roll in toppings, this is probably the easiest dessert ever. AND, it's vegan and gluten-free (at least my toppings were) so it's perfect for a party, which is why I made them.

Peanut Butter Truffles Recipe:
  • 1 whole container of peanut butter
  • About 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • TOPPINGS! (Do whatever you want. I used finely chopped almonds, flaked coconut, flax seed, cinnamon sugar and dark cocoa powder).

Combine the pb, sugar and salt in a bowl. Mix so it's all incorporated and smooth. Roll about a tsp size amount in the palm of your hand to form a little ball, coat in topping, place on large baking sheet and store in freezer to harden. Serve when ready! Because of the high-fat content, they don't really freeze or stay hard for very long. After sitting out for about 20 minutes, they were kind of melty and gooey, but still very tasty!
