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:

These Peanut Butter Chocolate Truffles are the perfect holiday dessert. Made with just four simple ingredients, they’re easy to make and deliciously rich. Roll them in graham crackers or drizzle with chocolate to make them a little fancier!
- Yield: Makes 16 truffles 1x
Ingredients
- 1 cup dates (pitted and roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 6 sheets graham crackers
- 2 Tbsp cocoa powder
- extra graham crackers & white chocolate for decorating
Instructions
Add dates and graham crackers to a food processor and process until well chopped.
Add cocoa powder and peanut butter and process until combined.
Form mixture into balls. Squeeze tightly to make sure they stick together. If necessary, you can add a teaspoon or two of water.
Roll in crushed graham crackers or drizzle with chocolate.
Notes
Other decoration options include dipping in chocolate, rolling in cocoa powder, etc.
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!
