Hi Friends!

The holiday season is upon us. If you’re looking for a super easy and delicious dessert for your next holiday party, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles are just the ticket!

I’m not a huge chocolate person, if I’m being honest, but these truffles are right up my alley. They’re the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter and just the perfect amount of sweet thanks to the dates and graham crackers.

You could definitely eat them plain, but it’s much more fun to jazz them up a little bit! I chose to roll some of mine in graham crackers and drizzle some with white chocolate. You could also roll some in cocoa powder or dip in dark chocolate!

Here’s the super easy recipe:

Time to get busy finding a party to take these to! If you want to add a little crunch, you could add some chopped peanuts to the mix. I like to keep mine in the fridge and eat them cold!
