Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffles

 With October in full swing, I definitely feel myself craving some Halloween candy. Unfortunately, most candies are not vegan. And the ones that are vegan are quite expensive. This recipe for chocolate peanut butter truffles is sure to satiate those chocolate cravings while also being plant-based, homemade, cheap, and delicious! 

Chocolate peanut butter truffles with white chocolate and a dark chocolate drizzle

Makes 10 truffles:

1/2 cup vegan dark chocolate chips 

1 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp vegan white chocolate chips

In a mixing bowl, microwave the dark chocolate chips until most of them are melted (it took a minute and half for me). Add peanut butter and mix them together. Then slowly add the powdered sugar, mixing it little by little into the peanut butter chocolate concoction. Once the powdered sugar has been infused thoroughly, the mix should have a dough-like consistency (add more powdered sugar if need be). Shape the "dough" with your hands into balls and place on baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes. The truffle balls should harden. Once you remove them from the freezer. Melt the white chocolate chips and coat each ball in the white chocolate. Optional: if you have extra dark chocolate, feel free to melt and drizzle over the white-chocolate covered truffles.
