Cuisine: American
Serves: about 20 truffles
Ingredients
  • 2.5 ounces chopped dairy-free dark chocolate (see Chocolate Note below)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅓ cup finely chopped peanuts
Instructions
  1. Melt the chocolate in a double broiler on your stove or camp stove.
  2. Stir in the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. You should have a rather thick mixture.
  3. Roll the chocolate mixture into small balls.
  4. Place the chopped peanuts on a plate and roll the chocolate-peanut butter balls in the peanuts to coat.
  5. You can optionally refrigerate or chill the truffles in a cooler for 30 to 60 minutes to help them firm up, or just enjoy them as softer truffles. The peanuts prevent them from sticking to your hands even if you don't have a cool space to chill them!
Notes
Chocolate Note: I used 60% dark chocolate. Use a lower percentage for sweeter peanut truffles, or go up to 70% or 80% for darker peanut truffles.
