Peanut Butter Truffles ~ Nutter Butter Cookie Balls
No bake desserts are my favorite for the holidays and peanut butter and chocolate is always a winning combination. Cookie ball truffles are an easy treat to make with the kids and can be decorated for any holiday occasion.
Ingredients Needed:
- Nutter Butter Cookies
- Cream Cheese ~ Softened
- Peanut Butter ~ Crunchy or Smooth
- Almond Bark or Candy Melts ~ Chocolate and/or Vanilla
- Sprinkles ~ Optional for decorating
How to Make Peanut Butter Truffles:
- Place Nutter Butter Cookies or peanut butter sandwich cookies in a food processor and process until fine crumbs.
- Add softened cream cheese and peanut butter.
- Process until smooth and well combined.
- Place cookie mixture into a bowl and use a 1 inch cookie scoop to make the balls.
- Roll cookie balls between your hands to make round truffle balls.
- Place on a parchment lined baking sheet with space in between.
- Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Melt chocolate almond bark in microwave or in a non-stick pan over low heat. Stirring until completely melted.
- Remove cookie balls from freezer.
- Dip into melted almond bark, a large fork works well, turn cookie balls over to completely coat. Allow excess coating to drip off.
- Return to the lined baking sheet with space between.
- Melt 2 squares of vanilla bark if desired and drizzle over cookie balls or garnish with sprinkles if you prefer. If using sprinkles, garnish as you dip them so they will stick.
- Refrigerate cookie balls one hour for the chocolate to set up completely.
- Store peanut butter truffles in an airtight container or zip top bag in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Truffles! YUM. These look so Delicious. I like all kinds but have never made these using Nutter Butter Cookies.
Will be making these for sure.
Was wondering just how well they will ship in the mail. I would like to make some and send from Texas to Ohio.
Milisa
Hi Colleen,
I think they would hold up just fine as long as they stay cool. You might want to put an ice pack in there. I keep them refrigerated since they have cream cheese in them.

I Love the sugar cookies with chocolate Hersheys on them. I can't have peanut stuff, so I just made them sugar cookies.
