Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups rice crispy cereal
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
Binding/Sweetening Ingredients:
- 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 2 tablespoons (2 tbsp) butter, softened
Garnish/Optional Topping:
- ¼ cup butterscotch chips (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
- Blend peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar in a spacious mixing vessel until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
- Gently fold rice crispy cereal into the mixture, ensuring even distribution throughout the creamy base.
- Craft bite-sized spheres approximately one inch in diameter, carefully positioning each truffle onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer and allow truffles to solidify for roughly 60 minutes, enhancing their structural integrity.
- Create a smooth chocolate and butterscotch coating by melting chips using a double boiler or microwave, stirring intermittently to prevent scorching.
- Extract frozen truffles and methodically immerse each one into the glossy melted mixture, permitting excess coating to cascade away.
- Delicately return chocolate-enrobed truffles to the parchment-lined surface, allowing them to set and develop a lustrous finish.
- Melt additional butterscotch chips and execute a graceful drizzling technique across the truffles for an enhanced flavor profile.
- permit truffles to stabilize and reach optimal serving temperature, either at ambient room conditions or within the refrigerator’s controlled environment.
Notes
- Customize the texture by adjusting the amount of rice crispy cereal for a crunchier or smoother truffle.
- Opt for natural peanut butter to reduce added sugars and create a more wholesome treat.
- Prevent chocolate from seizing by ensuring all utensils and bowls are completely dry before melting.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, allowing flavors
