Ingredients

  • 3 cups crispy peanut butter cereal squares, such as Peanut Butter Chex™ 

  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter

  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Directions

  1. Add the Chex cereal to a large plastic bag and, using a rolling pin, crush into fine pieces.

  2. Stir the 3 cups crushed Chex, 1/2 cup confectioner’s sugar, and peanut butter together in a large bowl until evenly combined. Freeze mixture until firm to the touch, about 30 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt semisweet chocolate in 10 second intervals until smooth, stirring in between. Add coconut oil and stir until combined. 

  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Using a 2 teaspoon cookie scoop, portion the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll the rounds between your hands to shape, and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

  5. Using a wooden pick or fork, dip truffles into the melted chocolate. Transfer back to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Let truffles cool in the refrigerator until set, about 20 minutes. 

  6. To serve, dust truffles in the remaining 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar.
