These delicious peanut butter chocolate truffles are a delicious sweet treat that will welcome in fall in a scrumptious way. And best of all, these are a NO BAKE sweet treat!
For an extra special chocolate experience, enjoy these chocolate truffles with a glass of chocolate milk.
Autumn is my favorite time of the year. We have a long, hot summer here in North Carolina, so getting a break from the hot weather is a real treat for me.
And, since I also love all the holidays to come, I am very grateful for this change of seasons. There’s so much to be thankful for in the fall!
It’s time to welcome in fall with these peanut butter chocolate truffles
Truffles are a favorite of mine to prepare. There are so many delicious things that one can put inside of a smooth coating of chocolate.
Since both peanut butter and chocolate are a favorite of mine (as in, can’t keep them in the house type favorite), I knew that these two flavors would be the base of my truffle. 
But I also wanted a bit of wholesome goodness in there with my Reese’s fix, so I chose to also add flax seed and chia seeds to the mix.
The base of these truffles are a mixture of butter and peanut butter. This helps to hold the dry ingredients together and also makes it easy to form it into balls.
Chia seeds and flax seeds give the chocolate peanut butter truffles a healthy boost.
I also used powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers in my truffle mixture.
Dark chocolate chips and peanut butter go into the microwave for a few minutes to get a smooth silky texture. Can we say Reese’s peanut butter cup fix?
The next step is to set up a dipping station. In addition to my melted PB and chocolate mixture, I used some Wilton autumn leaf sprinkles.
These colorful little sprinkles add just the right seasonal touch and make the truffles scream fall.
I also used the sprinkles to make my dirt cup recipe for Thanksgiving (in the shape of teepees!) Be sure to check it out.
I placed a silicone baking mat under my wire rack to protect my counter top and make clean up a breeze.
Do yourself a favor guys. If you like to make cake pops, truffles or any other coated round bite of goodness, invest in a dipping tool set.
I just got mine a while ago and it makes the task of dipping these truffles SO MUCH EASIER.
That little round tool with a basket shape is my favorite.
I used the prong tools to move the ball in the chocolate to coat and just scooped the balls up with the little basket tool and allowed it to drip off the excess. Super easy and why didn’t I get one before!!
Dip, dip, dip…roll, roll, roll, scoop, scoop, scoop and sprinkle to your heart’s content and they are done!
These peanut butter chocolate truffles have the most amazing taste. On the first bite, you get that chocolate peanut butter rush and then you chew and get the texture from the chia seeds and flax seed.
They are something else guys!
These delicious autumn bites are the perfect sweet treat to serve at your Halloween party, or Thanksgiving celebration.
The platter will be empty before you can say PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE TRUFFLE!
Don’t you just love the color of those bright autumn leaf sprinkles on top of that delicious dark chocolate?
It’s a good thing they scrumptious peanut butter chocolate truffles also freeze well. I DARE YOU to just eat one if you have them sitting around the house!
