Report

Fast, EASY, no-bake, and the BEST peanut butter truffles! A creamy peanut butter filling with a bit of texture from graham cracker crumbs, dipped in white chocolate (or milk or dark), and topped with sprinkles! Great MAKE-AHEAD homemade hostess gifts, for cookie exchanges, or set them out at Christmas parties.

Instructions

To a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
At the peanut butter, vanilla, and beat to combine, using a handheld electric mixer, or whisk to combine by hand.
Add the confectioner sugar, graham cracker, crumbs, and beat or stir to incorporate.
Using a small to medium cookie scoop, or using about 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of peanut butter mixture per ball, for approximately 24 equally sized peanut butter balls.
Roll each ball slightly through the palms of your hands to smooth.
Place the formed peanut butter balls on a plate or tray, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight. Tip - Do not skip the chilling process, because it will be harder for the melted chocolate in the following steps to adhere and set up.
Add the Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers (or similar), or as needed to a large, microwave-safe bowl, and heat according to package directions to melt smoothly.
Using a fork or a toothpick, lightly pierce each peanut butter ball, and dip it in the white chocolate to coat completely. Place each dipped truffle on a wire rack or parchment paper.
As you go, evenly sprinkle the tops with sprinkles or jimmies as desired before the chocolate begins to set up.
Repeat the dipping and sprinkling process with all remaining peanut butter balls until all are dipped and sprinkled.
Set aside at room, temperature, uncovered, to completely allow the chocolate to set up and fully harden* (See Notes)
The peanut butter balls will keep airtight at room temperature for 5 days, in the refrigerator for at least 1 month, and in the freezer for at least 4 months.

Notes

*Tips - If you are using chocolate melts in white, milk or dark chocolate, which is what I recommend, it may take a little while (30 minutes or so) for the chocolate to fully set up, since these products are designed to not harden overly quickly.
Have patience and just let them sit at room temperature for as long as necessary to harden.
I do not like putting anything with melted chocolate in the refrigerator or freezer because it has a tendency to develop condensation later on out of the fridge or freezer, which cosmetically doesn't look as good, and the glossy chocolate sheen will diminish.
