Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (16 oz) Nutter Butter cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup crushed Nutter Butter cookies (for coating)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Start by placing the Nutter Butter cookies in a food processor. Pulse the cookies until they are finely crushed, resembling a fine crumb texture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Nutter Butter cookies with the softened cream cheese. Blend until well combined and smooth.
  3. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  5. Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Continue rolling until all the mixture is formed into balls, yielding approximately 24 truffles.
  7. Refrigerate the formed truffles for another 30 minutes to firm up.
  8. In a microwave-safe bowl, add the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
  9. In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using the same method.
  10. Remove the truffles from the refrigerator. Dip each truffle into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet.
  11. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
  12. Repeat the dipping process with the white chocolate for a two-tone effect. Sprinkle crushed Nutter Butter cookies and optional chopped peanuts on top while the white chocolate is still wet.
  13. Refrigerate the coated truffles for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.
  14. Transfer the truffles to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
  15. Serve on a decorative plate or in a gift box for a delightful presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • For a smoother chocolate coating, consider adding a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate.
