Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.
  2. Combine wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted chocolate, peanut butter, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth.
  3. Add cereal: Gently fold in the Chex cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Chill: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  5. Roll into balls: Once chilled, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  6. Coat in powdered sugar: Place the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each truffle ball in the powdered sugar until completely coated.
  7. Serve and Enjoy! Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Notes

For a richer chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. You can also add other mix-ins to the truffle mixture, such as chopped nuts, sprinkles, or dried fruit.
