Peanut Butter Cookie Truffles
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 package of chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo)
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening
Instructions
- In a food processor, pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies until finely crushed.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies, creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Using a fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Once set, the peanut butter cookie truffles are ready to be enjoyed. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
