Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients form a cohesive, moldable mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for truffle formation.
- Using clean hands, scoop out approximately 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a smooth, compact ball. Place each formed ball on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the rolled truffles in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up, which will make them easier to coat in chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds to ensure smooth, even melting. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
- Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully lower each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage.
- Tap the fork gently to remove excess chocolate, then place the chocolate-coated truffle back on the parchment paper.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a few mini marshmallows on top of each truffle for the classic s'mores touch.
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster chocolate hardening, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Once the chocolate is completely set, transfer the truffles to an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature peanut butter for easier mixing and better texture.
- Ensure your graham cracker crumbs are finely ground for a smoother truffle base.
- When melting chocolate, use low power in the microwave and stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Keep your hands slightly damp when rolling truffles to prevent the mixture from sticking.
- For a more professional look, use a chocolate dipping tool or fork when coating truffles.
- If the chocolate starts to harden while dipping, gently reheat it in the microwave.
- For extra flavor, consider using dark or milk chocolate instead of standard chocolate chips.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
- These truffles make an excellent make-ahead dessert and are perfect for gifting.
- For a fun variation, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate coating.
