Not that we can’t make a treat like this any day of the year. It’s just that these Peanut Butter Truffles seem best served as a special Valentine’s Day treat. Perhaps we should make a trial batch here in January though? And maybe remind ourselves how to make them sometime next April? Then again in August. All that to say, who am I to tell you when to make these truffles? I totally and completely support your truffle-making choices.
I love how easy these are to make. I love that the only sugar in them is what is already in the chocolate chips. I love the peanut butter-chocolate combo. I love…well, love. So see? These are perfect to make for Valentine’s Day!
Easy 4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Truffles
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- ½ cup natural peanut butter (I used homemade peanut butter*)
- ⅛ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional)
- In a saucepan stir together chocolate chips, cream, and butter over medium heat.
- Just as the chocolate chips have almost melted, add peanut butter and stir until smooth.
- Spread mixture into a pie pan and chill for about two hours.
- Cut and roll mixture into 1 inch balls.
- Dip balls into cocoa powder if you like.
- Place on parchment paper and chill until set.
*I use homemade peanut butter from one of the following recipes:
- Peanut Butter (just peanuts!)
- Peanut Butter (super creamy – like Skippy or Jif)
Roll these truffles in powdered sugar for a fun variety. And place them into holiday colored mini-muffin liners to make them festive!

I’ve made this recipe several times, since you posted it several years ago. The truffles don’t last long in our house! They are delicious!!! My nephew loves them, so on his birthday, he gets a box of Peanut Butter Truffles. : )
What a great idea! These truffles would make an excellent birthday present. :-) Thanks for sharing!

I’ve made these truffles a few times in the last several years and they are always enjoyed. I made them today for a special treat for my family but used almond butter this time. They were still a big hit! Thank you, Laura ??
