These peanut butter truffles are quote "delicious, but make you really thirsty!" These are a hit for any party that you go to, because you can switch up the type of chocolate covering, whether it be dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate... and you can dress it up! Really, anything goes with peanut butter! 

Ingredients:

-1 stick of vegan butter

-1 16.3 oz. jar of peanut butter

-1 pound of powdered sugar

-3 cups of puffed rice cereal

-20 oz. of melting chocolate (I used dark and white, even though white is not vegan)

-1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening

or

Instructions:

1.         Let the vegan butter soften to room temperature.

2.        Combine the butter, powdered sugar, peanut butter, and vanilla using a mixer. Add the rice cereal but only mix for a little. You don't want to completely crush the puffs!

3.        Form into small balls using a melon scooper and place into a a piece of parchment paper on baking sheet. Place into the freezer for a few hours (overnight will work).

4.       Melt the chocolate and shortening in the microwave. Dip each ball into the chocolate using a spoon. 

5.       Place the balls onto the parchment paper and freeze again.

6.       Enjoy!
