Scale
Main Ingredients
- 3/4 cup creamy no stir peanut butter
- 1/2 cup cane sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
Coating and Topping
- 2 cups white chocolate baking chips
- Flaked sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: In a mixing bowl, beat together the creamy no stir peanut butter, cane sugar, salt, coconut flour, and powdered sugar until all ingredients are thoroughly combined into a smooth mixture.
- Form balls: Using a mini cookie scoop or your hands, shape the truffle batter into 10-12 evenly sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper to prevent sticking.
- Freeze: Chill the peanut butter balls in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up and make them easier to dip.
- Melt white chocolate: In the microwave, melt the white chocolate baking chips in 20-30 second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted. Take care not to burn the chocolate.
- Dip the balls: Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a spoon, coat each ball completely in the melted white chocolate.
- Tap off excess: Use a fork to lift the ball out of the chocolate, tapping lightly to remove any excess coating.
- Place back on sheet: Slide the coated peanut butter ball off the fork using a toothpick back onto the wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Add sea salt topping: Sprinkle the tops of each coated ball with flaked sea salt for an added salty crunch and contrast to the sweetness.
- Chill to set: Place the coated peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the white chocolate to firm up completely.
- Prepare drizzle: Warm any remaining white chocolate gently, transfer it to a small ziplock bag, and snip off a tiny corner to create a piping tip for drizzling.
- Drizzle the chocolate: Drizzle the warmed white chocolate over the set peanut butter balls for decorative texture and extra sweetness.
- Final chill: Return the peanut butter balls to the refrigerator and chill until they are fully hardened and ready to serve.
Notes
- Use creamy no-stir peanut butter for best texture and flavor.
- Freeze the balls before dipping to prevent them from falling apart in the chocolate.
- Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate to avoid burning or seizing.
- Flaked sea salt adds a nice balance to the sweetness and enhances flavor.
- Store these treats refrigerated to maintain shape and freshness.
