Method

Mix It Up

Start by gathering your ingredients and tools. In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, the rich maple syrup, and the graham cracker crumbs. It’s important to make sure that the graham cracker crumbs are finely ground to a flour-like consistency. Using a blender or a food processor to pulse the crackers works wonders here. Once you’ve added everything to the bowl, use a spoon or spatula to mix thoroughly. You want the mixture to be smooth and well-blended, forming a dough-like consistency that is easy to shape.

Shape the Bites

Once your mixture is well-combined, it’s time to shape the truffle cookies. Scoop out small portions of the dough and use your hands to roll them into bite-sized balls. The size is entirely up to you, but aiming for about one-inch diameter works well. Place each formed truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between them.

Chocolate Coating

Now it’s time for the fun part coating the truffles in chocolate! Use a microwave-safe bowl to melt the white chocolate. Heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst to make sure the chocolate doesn’t burn or become lumpy. Once it’s fully melted and smooth, you’re ready to coat your truffles. Gently dip each truffle into the chocolate, making sure it is completely covered. Lift it out with a fork or dipping tool, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.

Dip and Decorate

While the chocolate coating is still soft, sprinkle some extra crushed graham cracker crumbs over the top. This adds a lovely texture and a bit of crunch to the creamy truffles. You can get creative here try adding a drizzle of dark chocolate or a sprinkle of sea salt for a gourmet touch.

Chill and Serve

Once all the truffles are coated and decorated, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator. Let them chill for about 10 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened. Once they are set, your truffle cookies are ready to enjoy! Store any extras in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.
