Indulge with an assortment of rich truffles in unique flavors! Homemade truffles are easy to make, and once you learn the technique, you can create any flavor imaginable. 

Peanut Butter Pretzel Truffles

Yield: 24 truffles

Salty and sweet, these untraditional truffles are just right for those of you who love the salty and sweet complex. These truffles are reminiscent of a Butterfinger bar with one difference. Sriracha salt adds an unexpected burst of heat with every bite. If you cannot find sriracha salt, add a pinch of chipotle and use sea salt crystals.

Ingredients
Truffles
  • 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature.
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar
  • Pinch of sriracha salt
  • 1 ½ cups finely chopped pretzels
  • ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
Chocolate Coating
  • 2 cups milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
  • Sriracha salt crystals for sprinkling on top

  1. Blend the peanut butter, butter, brown sugar, confectioner’s sugar, and sriracha salt in the bowl of a stand mixture until smooth and well mixed.
  2. With the mixer running on low speed, slowly pour in the pretzels and graham cracker crumbs.

  4. Create tablespoon-sized balls and place on a cookie sheet.
  5. Freeze until very firm, about 30 minutes.
  6. Dip the balls into the melted milk chocolate coating (instructions below).
  7. Sprinkle with a few sriracha salt crystals.
  8. Store in the refrigerator in a tightly covered container.
Chocolate Coating
