• Grind the Cookies – In a food processor, grind cookies into fine crumbs. Add cream cheese to cookie crumbs and process until fully blended.
• Form into Balls – Divide the filling using a small scoop rolling into 48 one inch balls. Place onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 minutes.
• Make the Chocolate Coating – Melt together chocolate chips and peanut butter in a double boiler over simmering water. Melt, stirring occasionally, until completely smooth. (Alternately, you can also place into a microwave safe bowl, melt together in 45 second increments. Stop to stir each time, repeating the process until completely smooth.)
• Dip the Peanut Butter Balls – Use 2 forks or a candy dipping tool to dip into the melted chocolate. Place back onto the wax paper lined pan. Sprinkle tops with chopped peanuts while wet.
• Pop into the Fridge to Set – Chill until the chocolate coating is set.
• Store chilled in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

How to Make the BEST Peanut Butter Truffles

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade Peanut Butter Truffles: One pound package of Nutter Butter Cookies, plain cream cheese, semi-sweet chocolate chips i.e. Ghiradelli, creamy peanut butter and salted peanuts.
• Kitchen tools you’ll need: Food processor, measuring cups and spoons, double boiler, candy fork, sheet pan and medium bowl.
• Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully covered. Use a fork or toothpick to lift the truffle out of the chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined or wax paper lined baking sheet.
• To save calories you could use Neufchatel cheese in place of full fat cream cheese. It will result in a softer filling and will need adequate chilling or freezing to hold together when dipping into the warm chocolate.
• Avoid handling the truffles or you may leave fingerprints on the chocolate.
• Creamy peanut butter works best for the coating. It will melt and combine with the chocolate easily.
• Serve them at holiday gatherings, summer picnics, game day snacking and birthday celebrations.
• Leftovers: Enjoy your peanut butter truffles chilled storing in the fridge in an airtight container.
• Storage: Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1-2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
