Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Center
- 11 ounces peanut butter and honey snack crackers (approximately 6 packages)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
Chocolate Coating
- 8 ounces dark chocolate
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the cracker truffle center: Unwrap the peanut butter and honey snack crackers and place them into a food processor. Pulse until the crackers are crushed completely into fine crumbs.
- Mix ingredients: Add the softened cream cheese, honey, and peanut butter to the crushed cracker crumbs. Pulse the mixture until everything is combined into a thick, cohesive batter.
- Form the truffles: Scoop the batter into small balls about 3/4 inch in diameter using your hands or a spoon. Place these truffle balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Chill truffles: Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 15 minutes to firm up before coating.
- Melt chocolate coating: While the truffles chill, melt the dark chocolate and coconut oil together using a double boiler method until smooth and completely melted.
- Coat the truffles: Remove the chilled truffle balls from the fridge and dip each one individually into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Add finishing touch: Immediately sprinkle flaky sea salt on the chocolate-coated truffles while the coating is still wet to enhance the flavor and texture. The cold temperature will help the chocolate set quickly.
- Set the coating: Return the tray of coated truffles to the refrigerator and chill for about 15 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
- Serve and store: Enjoy these cracker truffles chilled and keep any leftovers stored in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- Use softened cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Ensure the crackers are fully crushed for even consistency in the truffle center.
- The coconut oil helps the chocolate coating to set with a nice shine and smooth finish.
- Flaky sea salt adds a wonderful contrast to the sweet, rich chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can substitute dark chocolate with semi-sweet or milk chocolate depending on preference.
