Aside from the peanut allergy folks. But hey– you can always use Biscoff instead! Or almond butter if you’re not allergic to all nuts 🙂 Note that I said a well-made peanut butter truffle. That’s very important. Because I have eaten my share of gross peanut butter truffles, so I know they’re out there. Who else knows what I’m talking about?? The gloppy filling that sticks to your mouth… usually not sweet enough… and that weird brand of peanut butter sort of has a funky taste. Not good. When I eat a peanut butter truffle, I hold my breath and cross my fingers that it has a smooth and creamy filling (but not too soft!) and a sweet, Reese’s-esque taste. I think the key to all of that is using the right amount of powdered sugar. Too much makes the filling stiff, dry, and overly sweet. But too little makes it gloppy and not sweet enough. These truffles are the good kind. In fact, they’re better than the good kind, because they also come with a surprise! This recipes hails from one of my new favorite blogger cookbooks: 12 Days of Christmas With Six Sisters’ Stuff: Recipes, Traditions, Homemade Gifts, and So Much More. And here’s the surprise ingredient: graham cracker crumbs! So there’s a little twisty twist for ya. I actually loved how the graham crackers played a part in these truffles. It adds a subtle crunch and changes the flavor just a bit too. In fact, it almost tastes like a nutter butter smothered in chocolate! Good call, Six Sisters, good call. If these peanut butter truffles are a reflection of the rest of the recipes in this book, my holiday season just got a lot yummier. 12 Days of Christmas With Six Sisters’ Stuff is full of gorgeous, full-length photos (despite the fact that I picked, like, the one recipe in the book with a small photo), creative recipes, and fun gift and craft ideas all geared towards the holidays. You can order a copy of 12 Days of Christmas With Six Sisters’ Stuff: Recipes, Traditions, Homemade Gifts, and So Much More on Amazon. But until it arrives, how about some peanut butter truffles to tide you over? I hope you love this recipe as much as we did! Continue to Content Peanut Butter Truffles Yield: 6 dozen Print Ingredients 1 cup butter, softened 1 pound powdered sugar 1 cup creamy peanut butter (I like Jif) 10 whole graham crackers 2 pounds dipping chocolate (like Wilton's, Hershey's Baking Melts, or Ghirardeli) Instructions Place the graham crackers in the bowl of a large food processor. Pulse until the crackers are fine crumbs. Add the butter and peanut butter. Blend until combined. Add the powdered sugar, and blend until combined. You may need to stop occasionally to scrape down the sides. Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Freeze for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the melting chocolate according to package instructions. Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer, and (if desired, not necessary) roll each ball until smooth. Dip* the balls in chocolate and replace on the parchment lined cookie sheet to cool and harden. Let set completely before serving or packaging. Notes *Be sure to watch the video slide show below on my favorite easy dipping technique. Have you made a Something Swanky recipe?

I love truffles, these peanut butter truffles look so good. I love the cute little fall sprinkles on top Reply
how much does the 10 graham crackers crushed make? I have some graham cracker crumbs already and need to know how much to use. This recipe sounds yummy. Hoping I can make it and not eat them all. Planning on putting them in my Xmas container of treats I give out. Reply
I don’t have a very big food processor, so do you think after I make the graham crackers fine, I could transfer them and do the rest with my electric mixer? I think that should work. Reply
I have already made your recipe for Oreo truffles and if these peanut butter ones turn out as beautifully and delicious as those, I will be beyond pleased! I’m giving them to friends and family for Thanksgiving treats! Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes! Reply
