  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)

  2. Roll the mixture into small balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  4. Coat the Truffles: Dip the frozen truffles into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the truffles with chopped peanuts, shredded coconut, fresh mint leaves, and powdered sugar, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure truffles are well-coated with chocolate for best texture and presentation. Be patient with coating process. For elegance, serve on a fancy platter or individual plates. You can substitute Nutter Butter cookies with Oreos or graham crackers. Use low-fat cream cheese for a lighter version. For healthier toppings, use natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup.
