Description
These sweet and salty peanut butter truffles are the perfect no-bake treat for game day! Shaped like footballs and decorated with white chocolate laces, they’re as festive as they are delicious.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips or Baker’s melting chocolate (Ghirardelli wafers recommended)
- ¼ cup white chocolate melting wafers (melted, for football stripes)
Instructions
1. Combine peanut butter, melted butter, heavy cream, and vanilla in a bowl. Blend until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar and continue blending until mixture is completely creamy.
3. Refrigerate or freeze the dough for at least 1 hour to firm up.
4. Roll chilled dough into 1-inch balls, then shape into footballs by rolling and pinching the ends.
5. Melt the milk chocolate according to package instructions. Use a toothpick to dip each chilled football-shaped truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
6. Place dipped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate to set.
7. Melt white chocolate wafers. Transfer to a plastic bag with a snipped corner and pipe laces on each truffle to create a football design.
8. Let the white chocolate harden before serving.
Notes
Do not use natural peanut butter, as it may separate.
Ghirardelli melting wafers melt smoothly and work great for dipping and decorating.
Work in small batches when dipping so truffles stay firm.
Save any leftover chocolate on the parchment—reheat for future use.
Toothpicks make dipping easier and any holes will be hidden by the piped laces.
