Looking for an easy No Bake dessert to keep on hand for when it is too hot to turn on the oven? These Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles are a quick and easy fix for those steamy days.
Over the past few months I have been updating old recipes and re-editing old pictures. I thought about redoing the pictures completely, but I do enjoy seeing the old pictures to see how far I have come...and I really don't have time to add that to my schedule right now. Maybe one day.
One of the old recipes that I worked on earlier this week were these Cookie Dough Truffles. I lightened the picture and sharpened it a little, but that was all. Then I shared the old picture with the recipe link on FB. Turns out you guys really like cookie dough truffles, even ones with old, bad pictures.
It got me thinking on how I could make the original even better. Peanut butter is probably one of the things I use the most when I bake, right behind bananas. I knew right away that I wanted to add peanut butter to the dough and dip it in white chocolate.
I also had a bag of Reese's peanut butter cups that I was going to throw into the dough, but at the very last minute I decided to just use mini chocolate chips. Mainly because I'm lazy, and I didn't want to cut the peanut butter cups into smaller pieces. I did drizzle them with some melted Reese's chips, so I got my beloved Reese's in them still.
This recipe makes quite a few truffles. 72 to be exact. Now I don't know about you, but I can't have 72 delicious peanut butter truffles sitting in my refrigerator calling out to me in a sweet sing-songy voice. I could still hear the voices, even when the door was closed.
So, I did the best thing possible. I dropped a box full of the goodness off at one of my friend's house. She has 4 kids, so I knew they would disappear quickly there, saving my thighs a little bit of extra working out. I just wish I had given her the whole batch, because I ate more than one of these.
Fast forward about 3 days. I was chatting with my good friend Aimee, and she is telling me about her new cookie dough truffles. All I could do was laugh!!
We are such twins that we make the same things quite often without the other one even knowing it. I think it turned out that we both made and photographed our peanut butter cookie dough truffles on the same day, without the other one even knowing. So, we decided it would be fun to post them on the same day too.
Now I'm really wishing I hadn't been so lazy about adding the peanut butter cups...we would have been even more of twins. Check out her peanut butter truffles to see why I say that 🙂

Those look soo good, but I am glad I don't have them at my house because I am sure I would eat a dozen at a time...if that's even humanly possible haha

Jocelyn Brubaker
It really isn't that hard to do. They are so addicting that you just keep eating more and more!
Julie @ Julie's Eats & Treats
I was in Bloglovin' today and I came across both yours and Aimee's recipes side by side and I was wondering if I missed the "Cookie Dough Truffle" holiday!
Jocelyn Brubaker
That should be one of those holidays on the calendar for sure 🙂
Ari @ Ari's Menu
There is always room for peanut butter and cookie dough and truffles! They are soooo pretty and look absolutely delicious!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I hear ya! Let's keep the peanut butter and cookie dough very close!!!
Faith @ Pixie Dust Kitchen
I was all ready to make these... until I saw that they make 72! Yikes! A dangerous recipe, indeed. (Maybe I'll make them anyway and just leave them at church on Sunday.) Or maybe I'll just eat all 72.
Sandy_of_WV
Could always 1/2 the recipe ... 🙂
Jocelyn Brubaker
You would be amazed at how quickly they do disappear. But yes, you could very easily just make half the batch.
Brenda @ SweetSimpleStuff
All you have to say is ... peanut butter and truffles in the same sentence and you have my attention!
Jocelyn Brubaker
Good to know 🙂 I have a few other ideas swirling around in my head right now!
Tieghan
Peanut butter cookie dough!!! Yes! OMG I am in love!! These are so dangerous!

Jocelyn Brubaker
These were very dangerous indeed. Thankfully I have friends who love for me to just "drop" off lots of goodies!!!
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust
Make that triplets - I made peanut butter truffles last week too. 🙂 I'll probably post them in a few weeks, lol. 🙂 Love these!
Jocelyn Brubaker
That's too funny! I can't wait to see your peanut butter goodness!!!
Amber @ Dessert Now, Dinner Later!
You & Shugary Sweets have two options for me to make these! YUM!
Jocelyn Brubaker
I guess that means you will have lots of peanut butter truffles in your house soon. When should I come over to help you eat them? 🙂
Krista @ joyfulhealthyeats
oh no! I knew it... I shouldnt have clicked on this picture. {but they just looked so good} I have slight... ok, somewhat serious addiction to peanut butter {especially after pregnancy}. I could be in some real trouble after seeing these bad boys! Everything's good for you in moderation!!! Right?
Jocelyn Brubaker
I'm slightly addicted to peanut butter too 🙂 I think you have the key...everything in moderation!!!
Aimee @ ShugarySweets
OMG girl, this just cracks me up 🙂 I love that we are always on the same wavelength!!! Your truffles are gorgeous!!
Jocelyn Brubaker
We do seem to have the same brain!!! It's pretty funny how much we are alike!
Jennifer @ Not Your Momma's Cookie
Mmmm - these sound decadent! I'm definitely still improving my photography skills, but I can definitely see how far I've come when I look at my old posts!
Jocelyn Brubaker
It is so fun to look back and see how much we have improved. Thanks Jennifer!
