Nutter Butter Truffles
Description
This recipe starts by finely crushing Nutter Butter cookies to form the base of the truffles. The crushed cookies are combined with softened cream cheese and creamy peanut butter to create a smooth, moldable dough. Rolling the dough into small balls and chilling them firms the truffles before dipping in melted chocolate coating.
The chocolate coating adds a crisp outer layer that balances the soft, creamy center with peanut and cookie flavors. Toppings such as sprinkles or sea salt can be added immediately after dipping for texture and visual appeal. The truffles are then set to harden at room temperature or chilled for quicker firming.
These bite-sized truffles make a rich snack or dessert option that requires no baking, ideal for peanut butter lovers and quick homemade treats.
Ingredients
- 16 ounce Nutter Butter cookies package
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup peanut butter creamy
- 10 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles or sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Crush the Nutter Butters into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. Tip: if using a blender you may need to blend the cookies in small batches.
- In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peanut butter together until smooth. Add the mixture to the cookie crumbs and mix until well combined.
- Roll the dough into bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the sheet of cookie balls into the freezer to set while you move on to the next step.
- Melt the chocolate according to the package directions. Use a fork to dip each of the cookie balls into the chocolate then return to the parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Top each Nutter Butter Truffle with sprinkles or sea salt, if desired, immediately after dipping before the chocolate has time to set.
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
