These easy and homemade peanut butter chocolate Easter egg truffles with sea salt offer a rich, silky bite with a perfect balance of sweet, salty, and creamy flavors. Ideal for gifting or indulging, they are quick to make and use simple pantry staples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (250 g) creamy natural peanut butter (unsweetened or lightly salted)
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 12 ounces (340 g) bittersweet chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped or chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or unsalted butter
  • Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon flakes), for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Mix the Peanut Butter Filling (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix with an electric mixer or sturdy spoon until smooth and slightly firm but pliable.
  2. Shape the Truffles (10 minutes): Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Portion the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch egg-shaped balls using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll to smooth and place on the baking sheet. Freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the Chocolate (5-7 minutes): Chop the bittersweet chocolate. Melt using a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth. Stir in coconut oil or butter for shine and easier dipping.
  4. Dip the Truffles (10-15 minutes): Remove truffles from freezer one by one. Dip each into melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment-lined sheet and immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
  5. Set and Store (30 minutes to 1 hour): Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm. Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Use quality bittersweet chocolate (60-70% cocoa) for best flavor. Chill peanut butter balls before dipping to prevent melting. Work quickly when dipping to keep chocolate smooth. Rewarm chocolate gently if it thickens. Don’t skip the sea salt—it enhances flavor. Store refrigerated or freeze for longer shelf life.
