Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles
Description
This recipe combines creamy peanut butter with honey and vanilla extract, then mixes in coconut flour and a pinch of salt for a thick consistency suited for shaping. The mixture is formed into balls and frozen briefly to firm them up. Meanwhile, milk chocolate chips are melted with coconut oil, creating a smooth coating. The peanut butter balls are drizzled or dipped in the chocolate, then garnished with flaky sea salt to balance sweetness and add texture. The truffles are returned to the freezer until the chocolate hardens.
The truffles keep well when stored refrigerated in an airtight container or frozen for longer preservation. The use of coconut flour contributes to the structure while keeping the center moist. This treat offers a rich, indulgent flavor and a satisfying combination of creamy, sweet, and salty elements ideal for snack or dessert.

- 1 cup peanut butter creamy
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tbsp coconut flour

- sea salt flaky
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, stir creamy peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.
