Introduction

These Cracker Truffles combine crunchy peanut butter and honey snack crackers with a creamy center, all enveloped in rich dark chocolate. They’re a quick and satisfying treat perfect for any occasion, offering a delightful mix of textures and flavors.

Four round chocolate-covered balls sit on a white plate with a smooth texture. Each ball has a glossy dark brown chocolate layer with small flakes of salt sprinkled on top.

The plate rests on a white marbled surface, and the overall look is soft and inviting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

11 ounces peanut butter and honey snack crackers (6 packages)
8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
8 ounces dark chocolate
2 teaspoons coconut oil

Instructions

Step 1: Unwrap the peanut butter and honey snack cracker sandwiches and place them in a food processor.
Step 2: Pulse until the crackers are completely crushed into fine crumbs.
Step 3: Add the cream cheese, honey, and peanut butter to the food processor.
Step 4: Pulse again until the mixture forms a thick, uniform batter.
Step 5: Scoop the mixture into small truffle balls, about 3/4 of an inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Step 6: Chill the truffle balls in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
Step 7: While chilling, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut oil in a double boiler until smooth.
Step 8: Remove the truffles from the fridge and dip each one into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place them back on the parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Step 9: Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top of the truffles while the chocolate is still wet to add a salty contrast.
Step 10: Continue dipping and coating all the truffles, then return them to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set completely.
Step 11: Once set, enjoy your cracker truffles or store them for later.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, add a handful of chopped nuts to the truffle mixture before forming the balls.
Dark chocolate can be substituted with milk or white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
If you don’t have a food processor, place the crackers in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin, then mix by hand.
Use flaky sea salt for the best texture on top of the chocolate, but you can omit if you prefer sweeter truffles.

Storage

Store the cracker truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to enjoy, you can eat them cold or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly. Avoid storing at room temperature for extended periods to keep the chocolate coating firm.

How to Serve

Five round chocolate balls with a smooth dark brown coating are placed together on a white cake stand with a delicate dotted edge. Each chocolate ball is topped with small, shiny flakes of sea salt that add texture and contrast. The chocolate coating looks slightly glossy and has a few small wrinkles, giving a homemade feel. The cake stand is set on a surface with a white marbled texture visible at the edges. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
