How to Make Peanut Butter Truffles

  1. Step 1

    Line a large rimmed baking sheet with wax paper.

  2. Step 2

    In a small mixing bowl, combine ½ cup peanut butter and pretzels. Chill in freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Roll mixture into 20 balls (about 1 heaping teaspoon each). Place on prepared baking sheet and freeze for at least 1 hour, or until very firm.

  4. Step 4

    In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and remaining ¼ cup peanut butter. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir and continue to microwave for 20-second intervals until chocolate is melted.

  5. Step 5

    Roll peanut butter balls in melted chocolate mixture, shake off excess chocolate, and return to baking sheet. Freeze until chocolate is completely set, about 30 minutes. Keep frozen until ready to serve. If desired, serve lightly dusted with unsweetened cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container, frozen, for up to 2 weeks.
