Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter softened for easier mixing
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers for texture and flavor
  • 2 tbsp honey to help bind the mixture
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips good quality melts better
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil optional, to help melt chocolate smoothly
  • a pinch sea salt for sprinkling on top

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Fork or dipping tool
  • Parchment paper
  • Small scoop or teaspoon

Method
 

  1. Place a parchment-lined baking sheet nearby and set your melting chocolate in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened peanut butter, crushed graham crackers, and honey. Mix until the mixture becomes smooth and cohesive, with no dry crumbs visible.
  3. Chill the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes until it firms up enough to handle easily.
  4. Using a small scoop or teaspoon, portion out small amounts of the chilled mixture and roll them between your palms to form about 1-inch diameter balls.
  5. Place the formed balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate again for 10 minutes to firm up.
  6. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in the double boiler or microwave, stirring until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  7. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Tap gently to remove excess chocolate.
  8. Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment sheet. Sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of each for a flavor boost.
  9. Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature for about 10 minutes, or refrigerate for 20 minutes for a quicker finish.
  10. Once set, enjoy these shiny, crackly, melt-in-your-mouth bites, perfect for sharing or keeping in the fridge for a quick sweet fix.
