  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (8 Tbsp; 113g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 3/4 cup (185g) creamy peanut butter (not natural style)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (360g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) M&M’S® Baking Bits
  • 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

Instructions

  • Prepare the baking sheets
    • Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set them aside.
  • Mix the peanut butter filling
    • In a large bowl, beat the butter with a handheld or stand mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes.
    • Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat on high speed until smooth and creamy.
    • Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar, mixing on low speed for about 2 minutes until everything is combined. The mixture should be soft yet slightly crumbly.
    • Fold in the M&M’S® Baking Bits using a silicone spatula or your hands.
  • Shape the truffles
    • Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Aim for 32-35 balls in total.
  • Chill the truffles
    • Refrigerate the truffles for about 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Melt the chocolate
    • During the final minutes of chilling, melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave.
    • If microwaving, heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each interval until completely melted and smooth. Let the chocolate cool slightly for 5 minutes.
  • Dip the truffles
    • Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator.
    • Use a dipping tool to submerge each truffle in the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. You can leave a small portion of the peanut butter filling exposed for a buckeye effect if desired.
    • Tap the dipping tool gently on the bowl’s edge to remove excess chocolate before placing the coated truffles back onto the baking sheets.
  • Set the truffles
    • Chill the truffles in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is completely set.

Notes

  • Substitutions
    • Use white chocolate or milk chocolate for a sweeter variation.
    • Replace M&M’S® Baking Bits with crushed peanut butter cups or chopped nuts for added texture and flavor.
  • Presentation Ideas
    • Arrange truffles in gift boxes with decorative liners for a festive touch.
    • Serve on a dessert platter alongside cookies and other candies for a colorful display.
  • Storage Tips
    • Store the truffles in an airtight container, layered with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
    • They will keep in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to two months.
