Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each peanut butter truffle into the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 6: Drizzle for the Perfect Finish
Melt an additional 1/4 cup of butterscotch chips or chocolate chips and drizzle it over the truffles using a spoon or piping bag. This adds a decorative touch and enhances the flavor.
Step 7: Let Them Set
Place the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely set. Once firm, they are ready to serve and enjoy!
Tips for the Best Scotcheroo Truffles
Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor and texture. Natural peanut butter may be too oily, so stick with regular creamy peanut butter.
Chill before dipping to make coating the truffles easier and prevent them from falling apart.
Work in small batches when dipping to keep the chocolate smooth and prevent it from hardening too quickly.
Use a double boiler instead of a microwave for melting chocolate if you want a smoother, more controlled melt.
Variations and Additions
Want to customize your Scotcheroo Truffles? Here are some variations to try:
Dark Chocolate Version – Use dark chocolate chips instead of semisweet for a richer, less sweet coating.
Nutty Addition – Mix in finely chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts for extra crunch.
Salted Caramel Twist – Drizzle caramel over the truffles and sprinkle with sea salt for a gourmet touch.
Coconut Coating – Roll the truffles in shredded coconut before dipping in chocolate.
Holiday-Themed Truffles – Add colorful sprinkles or edible glitter to match holiday themes like Christmas, Easter, or Valentine’s Day.
