Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles
I’m no matchmaker, but I strongly believe that chocolate, peanut butter and pretzels are meant to be together. They make the perfect sweet and salty combination for this truffle.
These truffles are incredibly easy and delicious. In the center of these truffles are almonds, peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and pretzels. That’s it! All you have to do is combine the ingredients, roll them into balls, coat in chocolate, and pop them in the fridge or freezer. Once they’re set, then they’re ready to eat.
And did I mention you don’t have to bake this sweet and salty chocolatey dessert? That makes it perfect for summer. (No making your house hot from a hot oven!) The whole family will love these Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles!
Kelley’s Tips
Before You Get Started
- Drizzle the truffles with melted white chocolate, peanut butter, or Nutella.
- Add some chopped salted roasted peanuts for more savory peanut butter flavor.
- Get fancy with toppings! Right after dipping the truffles in chocolate sprinkle crushed up almonds or pretzels on top of truffles before placing them in the freezer to set.
- Enjoy these truffles cold. I prefer these truffles cold out of the refrigerator. This also helps to keep the truffle together.
All you need is 7 ingredients!
- Almonds: Are the base of these truffles. You can use also use cashews, walnuts or pecans!
- Vanilla extract: Add the perfect amount of flavor to the truffles.
- Salted pretzels: The key is salted pretzels! I love the sweet and salty combination and always love a little salt with my chocolate.
- Creamy peanut butter: Adds a creaminess to these truffles! You can use regular, natural or almond peanut butter.
- Powdered sugar: Adds some sweetness. I like to use powdered sugar versus granulated sugar for my truffles for a smoother texture.
- Semi sweet chocolate chips: Get melted along with coconut oil and are the coating to these truffles. If you want a less sweet truffle opt for dark chocolate instead.
- Coconut oil: I always add a little coconut oil when melting chocolate. It creates a smoother consistency and makes it easier to dip.
