- Peanut Butter Muffin Truffles: Add a spoonful of peanut butter to the muffin batter before baking for a nutty twist. Coat the truffles in melted chocolate and chopped peanuts for a crunchy finish.

- Salted Caramel Muffin Truffles: Drizzle caramel sauce over the muffin batter before baking for a gooey surprise. Coat the truffles in a mixture of melted milk and dark chocolate, then sprinkle with sea salt for a touch of savory.
- Double Chocolate Muffin Truffles: Add chocolate chips to the muffin batter for a double dose of chocolate. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder or chocolate sprinkles for a rich finish.
These are just a few ideas for variations, but the possibilities are endless. Get creative with toppings and coatings and see what delicious combinations you can come up with.
Chocolate Muffin Truffles Tips
When it comes to making chocolate muffin truffles, there are a few key steps to keep in mind. Here are some subheadings to guide you through the process:
- Bake and Cool the Muffins: First, bake a batch of chocolate muffins using your favorite recipe. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool completely before moving onto the next step. In this recipe you can use stale or fresh muffins!
- Break Up the Muffins: Using your fingers, a whisk or a fork, crumble the cooled muffins into small pieces. Be sure to break them up into fine crumbs to ensure a smooth truffle texture.
- Mix in Binding Ingredients: To help the truffles stick together, mix in binding ingredients such as chocolate frosting. This helps the crumbs stick together and form into balls.
- Form the Truffles: Roll the mixture into balls using your hands or a small cookie scoop. Place the truffles on a lined baking sheet and chill in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to set.
- Coat the Truffles: Once chilled, melt your preferred chocolate coating and dip the truffles into the chocolate using a fork. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the truffles back on the lined baking sheet to set.
- Decorate: Finally, the fun part! Decorate your truffles with your preferred toppings such as more melted chocolate, sprinkles, cookie crumbs, chopped nuts, or dried fruit.
