Step-by-step

  • Line a baking sheet with nonstick parchment paper.
  • Add peanuts to a blender and pulse until crushed into a chunky flour. Empty into a small shallow bowl and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir together cashew butter, coconut flour, maple syrup, coconut sugar and vanilla extract.
  • Allow to sit 10 minutes, and it should turn into a dough-like consistency that you manipulate.
  • Scooping 1 tablespoon dough per truffle, roll dough into 8 balls and place on baking sheet.
  • Use your pointer finger to press a well into the center of each ball.
  • Cut your medjool dates into 8 even pieces, then roll each date piece into a ball and place one in each well.
  • Close up each ball of dough, so that the date piece stays in the center and isn’t visible. Roll each back into a nice round shape.
  • Grab your crushed peanuts and gently press your truffles into them, coating as evenly as possible. You will need to pat the peanuts into the dough, so that they don’t fall off. I find that it’s easier to press peanuts into the dough and again roll it between my hands to smooth the sides and make sure the peanuts stick.
  • Place truffles side by side on the baking sheet and place in the freezer.
  • In the meantime, grab a double boiler or create one and add chocolate chips and coconut oil.
  • To make a double-boiler, add 1-2 inches water to a small saucepan and turn to low heat.
  • Place a heatproof bowl on top (glass, pyrex or stainless steel), making sure that the bottom of the bowl won’t touch the water in the saucepan.
  • Place chocolate chips and oil in the bowl and stir constantly until melted.
  • As soon as the last chocolate chip melts, remove from the heat and allow to cool 5 minutes.
  • Grab truffles from the freezer.
  • Add each truffle to the chocolate, gently turning to coat, then remove with a fork or slotted spoon, shaking off excess chocolate.
  • Place again on baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with extra crushed peanuts and place bake in freezer for 20 minutes.
  • Once frozen, peel off the parchment and you can enjoy immediately OR you can put them in Tupperware and place in the fridge 30 minutes to achieve ideal consistency.
  • Keep leftovers in the fridge up to 1 week.

My Unexpected Snickers Truffle Adventure: A Busy Mom's Sweet Escape

Life as a working mom is a whirlwind. Between juggling deadlines at the office, school pick-ups, soccer practice, and dinner prep, finding time for myself feels like a luxury. But lately, I've discovered a secret weapon in my fight against exhaustion: a little bit of chocolate. Not just any chocolate, mind you, but these decadent Snickers truffles. They're my go-to treat when I need a moment of pure, unadulterated bliss.

It all started with a simple craving. A late-night scroll through recipe websites led me to this Snickers truffle recipe, and something about the combination of peanuts, dates, and chocolate just screamed "me time." I wasn't expecting much, honestly. I usually stick to quick and easy recipes, but the simplicity of this one was strangely appealing. Little did I know, these little balls of happiness would become my new obsession.

The process itself is surprisingly therapeutic. The rhythmic crushing of peanuts, the satisfying mixing of the dough, the gentle rolling of the truffles – it’s a mini meditation session in the kitchen. It’s a welcome break from the constant demands of my day, a chance to focus on something small and sweet, literally and figuratively. The aroma of melting chocolate fills the kitchen, creating a cozy, comforting ambiance that instantly relaxes me.

And the taste? Oh, the taste! The perfect balance of salty, sweet, and chewy is utterly irresistible. It's the kind of treat that satisfies a deep-seated craving without leaving me feeling guilty. They’re a luxurious, yet simple dessert. It makes me wonder why I didn't discover them sooner.

These Snickers truffles aren't just a delicious treat; they're a symbol of self-care. They remind me to take a break, even if it's just for 30 minutes in the kitchen, and to indulge in something that brings me joy. They're a little slice of heaven in my chaotic world, a reminder that even amidst the whirlwind of motherhood and work, there’s always room for a little bit of sweetness.

I've even started experimenting with variations. Sometimes I add a sprinkle of sea salt for an extra salty kick. Other times, I use different types of chocolate, depending on my mood. But the basic recipe remains my favorite – it’s perfectly balanced, decadent, yet surprisingly easy to make. The best part? They’re surprisingly easy to make, making them the perfect treat for busy weeknights or even a fun weekend activity.

If you're a busy mom, a stressed-out professional, or just someone who needs a little pick-me-up, I highly recommend giving these Snickers truffles a try. They're more than just a dessert; they're a small act of self-love, a reminder to slow down and savor the sweet moments in life. So, grab your ingredients, put on some relaxing music, and let the magic of chocolate therapy begin!

I've even started making them for friends and family. They're always a huge hit, and it's so rewarding to share something I've made with love and care. These Snickers truffles have become so much more than just a recipe; they're a source of joy and connection, a sweet reminder of the simple pleasures in life.

So go ahead, treat yourself. You deserve it.
