Peanut Butter Truffles

Ingredients:

Peanut truffles

• 2.5 cups sifted powdered sugar
• 1 cup of homogeneous peanut butter
• 5 tbsp (75 g) butter, melted
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Possible types of coating for truffles

• Crumb from chocolate chip cookies
• A variety of chopped nuts, such as peanuts or pistachios
• Chocolate chips
• Confectionery sprinkles
• Powdered sugar
• Crushed peanut butter-filled candies
• Coconut flakes

Preparation:

1. Using a mixer, beat the powdered sugar, peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Roll portions of the mixture (1 heaping teaspoon) into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
2. Roll the peanut butter balls in any or all of the toppings. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes. These truffles are best served very chilled.
