6. Step 6: Once the chocolate has just set but is still tacky, roll each truffle in the powdered monkfruit sweetener until well coated.
7. Step 7: Let the truffles set in the fridge for about 15 minutes before serving.
8. Step 8: Enjoy your homemade Muddy Buddy Truffles!

Tips & Variations

• Substitute oat flour for almond flour to make these nut-free.
• Use honey instead of maple syrup if preferred for sweetness.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne for a subtle warm kick.
• For a crunchier texture, mix in some chopped nuts or crispy rice cereal into the dough.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container for up to one month. To serve, let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or until soft enough to enjoy. Avoid leaving them out too long as the chocolate can melt.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy?

Natural peanut butter can work but may alter the texture and firmness of the dough. It may need additional almond flour to achieve the right consistency.

What can I use instead of powdered monkfruit sweetener?

You can substitute powdered sugar or any other powdered low-carb sweetener if preferred. Adjust the amount according to your taste and sweetness preference.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Truffle Base

• 1 cup peanut butter (creamy)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
• 1/2 cup almond flour (or oat flour for nut free)
• 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
• 1/8 tsp salt

Coating

• 1 cup dark chocolate chips (melted)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/2 cup powdered monkfruit sweetener

Instructions

1. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla bean paste, almond flour, and salt until a thick dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, add an additional tablespoon of almond flour to reach the right consistency.
2. Form the Truffles: Roll the dough into 1-inch diameter balls and place them evenly spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
3. Freeze the Truffles: Place the tray in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to allow the truffles to firm up and set properly before coating.
4. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
5. Dip the Truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate coating them thoroughly. Lift them out and let any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
6. Coat with Sweetener: When the chocolate has just started to set but remains slightly tacky, roll each truffle in the powdered monkfruit sweetener to achieve a sweet, powdery finish.
7. Chill to Set: Place the coated truffles in the refrigerator and let them chill for about 15 minutes to fully set the chocolate coating before serving.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Your Muddy Buddy Truffles are now ready to be enjoyed as a tasty, nutritious treat!

Notes

• You can substitute oat flour for almond flour to make the recipe nut-free.
• If the dough is too sticky to handle, add additional flour one tablespoon at a time until manageable.
• Use dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cocoa for a richer flavor and less sweetness.
• Powdered monkfruit sweetener is used as a low-calorie alternative to powdered sugar to keep the truffles healthier.
• Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
• For a vegan version, ensure the chocolate chips and peanut butter you use are vegan-friendly.
