Ingredients

½ cup smooth peanut butter
¼ cup cocoa powder
¼ cup honey
¼ cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes, or more as needed

Steps:

Combine peanut butter, cocoa powder, honey, coconut oil, butter, and vanilla bean paste in a saucepan over low heat; cook, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat and transfer peanut butter mixture to a bowl.
Refrigerate mixture, stirring every 5 minutes, until truffle mixture is firm yet sticky and soft enough to shape, about 15 minutes.
Pour coconut flakes into a bowl. Drop truffle mixture, about 1 teaspoon per truffle, into coconut and roll to coat. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
