Make the Chocolate Coating – Melt together chocolate chips and peanut butter in a double boiler over simmering water. Melt, stirring occasionally, until completely smooth. (Alternately, you can also place into a microwave safe bowl, melt together in 45 second increments. Stop to stir each time, repeating the process until completely smooth.)
Dip the Peanut Butter Balls – Use 2 forks or a candy dipping tool to dip into the melted chocolate. Place back onto the wax paper lined pan. Sprinkle tops with chopped peanuts while wet.
Pop into the Fridge to Set – Chill until the chocolate coating is set.
Store chilled in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

How to Make the BEST Peanut Butter Truffles

Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Peanut Butter Truffles: One pound package of Nutter Butter Cookies, plain cream cheese, semi-sweet chocolate chips i.e. Ghiradelli, creamy peanut butter and salted peanuts.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Food processor, measuring cups and spoons, double boiler, candy fork, sheet pan and medium bowl.
Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully covered. Use a fork or toothpick to lift the truffle out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined or wax paper lined baking sheet.
To save calories you could use Neufchatel cheese in place of full fat cream cheese. It will result in a softer filling and will need adequate chilling or freezing to hold together when dipping into the warm chocolate.
Avoid handling the truffles or you may leave fingerprints on the chocolate.
Creamy peanut butter works best for the coating. It will melt and combine with the chocolate easily.
Serve them at holiday gatherings, summer picnics, game day snacking and birthday celebrations.
Leftovers: Enjoy your peanut butter truffles chilled storing in the fridge in an airtight container.
Storage: Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
