Tasty Mix-In Ideas For These Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles
- Chocolate Chips – I like to use the minis, but regular will do just fine!
- Peanut Butter Chips – Add a handful to get even more peanut butter flavor in every bite!
- Cookies – To add some crunch to your cookie dough, mix in some chopped-up chocolate or peanut butter sandwich cookies.
- Candy – Chop up some of your favorite peanut butter candy into bite-sized pieces to add in!
- Nuts – For a nutty crunch, add in some chopped-up peanuts!
How To Make Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles
- Heat Treat The Flour – Heat treating the flour is an important step to ensuring these truffles are safe to eat! Consuming raw flour can make you sick from any bacteria that may be lurking in it. Heat treating it brings it to a temperature high enough to kill any bacteria that may be in it. Complete this step first to allow the flour to cool before adding it to the recipe.
- Chill The Balls – Popping the cookie peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough truffles in the freezer allows them to firm up. This makes dipping them in the warm melted chocolate easier. Just be careful not to leave them in the freezer for more than 15 minutes. If they become too cold, the temperature difference between them and the melted chocolate will be too great. This could cause the chocolate shell to crack and break once they’ve been dipped.
- Melt The Chocolate – Melt the wafers in the microwave (easiest) or by using the double boiler method. Whichever process you choose, just be sure the chocolate becomes silky smooth for the perfect chocolate coating!
- Add Sprinkles – If you plan to add sprinkles or crushed toppings, do so as soon as the truffles have been dipped. This way, they adhere securely to the truffle!
How To Store
Store the Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days. These will also keep for 1 to 2 days at room temperature.
Can I Freeze These Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles?
Yes, you can freeze them for up to 3 months in an airtight container. For the best texture, let them thaw at room temperature for an hour before enjoying them!
What Other Way Can I Heat Treat the flour?
Another easy method for heat-treating flour is by baking it. Just spread it out onto a rimmed baking sheet and bake it at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes.
These bite-sized sweet treats can be dangerously good, but in a good and tasty way; they just disappear quickly! Try another one of my favorite no-bake bite-sized treats to keep for yourself or share with others!
