Peanut Butter Truffles
No Bake Peanut Butter Truffles are not only creamy and delicious, but they’re also super easy to make. Grab the kids and a handful of super simple ingredients to make a dessert the entire family will love to share!
I don’t know about you and yours, but in my house, we are chocolate and peanut butter CRAZY! The other day Mini Me wanted to make some of my famous Homemade Buckeyes, but I talked her into trying a new, similar recipe and instead, we made these five-ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Truffles.
“And the crowd went wild!” I knew with the first bite that these No Bake Peanut Butter Truffles were going to be on repeat request for a while to come. Chocolatey and peanut buttery, melt-in-your-mouth amazing, and oh hello sweet graham cracker taste! The only thing better would be if this recipe had cream cheese in it – oh wait, it does. I sat envisioning winning the Mom / Wife / Hostess with the Mostest of the Year Award. Oh yeah …
Make no mistake, I will be making these truffles a bunch this summer, y’all. These treats are easy to make and SO delicious. I predict your family will actually want to help you so you can make them faster so they can eat them even faster than that. With this in mind, I recommend making several batches as they disappeared like lightning!
No Bake Peanut Butter Truffle Tips:
- When I make homemade buckeyes I grate or chop household paraffin wax and melt it in with the semi-sweet chocolate I dip the peanut butter rounds in. Adding paraffin wax makes chocolate easier to work with, doesn’t change the taste, and gives the candies a glossier, more professional-looking finish. I typically use a ratio of ¼ stick of wax per cup of chocolate, so for these No Bake Peanut Butter Truffles, I would add about a ⅛ of a stick to your ½ cup of semi-sweet chocolate.
- If you’d like to save yourself a little time and skip turning on the stove, you can melt your chocolate (and paraffin wax, if using) on low heat in the microwave. I tend to check every 30 seconds or so to give it a good stir.
- Use wood toothpicks or skewers to stab these truffles and dip them into the melted chocolate bath.
- No Bake Peanut Butter Truffles are freezable in an airtight container or freezer bag.
No doubt these treats will be a huge hit with your family and friends, too. Enjoy!

How to Make No Bake Peanut Butter Truffles
Step #1: Line a baking pan with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl, fold together graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese, and peanut butter.

Step #3: Using the double boiler method, melt your chocolate chips separately.
