How to Make Chocolate Dipped Truffles
A recipe that only uses 4 ingredients has to be super simple, and this one is! The steps are easy, but just takes some time to let different steps set up. Extra bonus…no candy thermometer needed! Here is what you will do:
- Combine: Add the sugar, peanut butter, and butter (or cream cheese) to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix together with the paddle attachment until combine.
- NOTE: The consistency should be that the dough holds together when you squeeze it in your hand. If it’s too wet, add a little more powdered sugar. If it’s too dry and crumbly, add a little more peanut butter. Keeping the dough chilled and cold and trying not to handle it too much will help a lot!
- Scoop: Using a small cookie scoop and your hands, shape the peanut butter mixture into 1/2-3/4 inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Chill: Cover loosely and place in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes.
- Melt: Place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set over a pot of simmering water (or use a double-boiler) and heat until completely melted and smooth.

These Dulce de Leche Chocolate Cheesecake Bars will absolutely blow your mind! A rich, velvety layer of dulce de leche spread over a decadent Oreo crust, finished with a touch of flaky sea salt to create the perfect harmony of sweet and salty in every bite.
I’ve always been an admirer of Baker by Nature. Her recipes and photography are nothing short of magical. She gets it right every single time.
It’s rare for me to spotlight another blogger’s recipe, and it’s not because I don’t adore them (I absolutely do). The truth is, my brain is constantly overflowing with recipe ideas. There are so many that I can barely keep up, let alone make space for anyone else’s.
Seriously, you should see the never-ending list of recipes Cade and I have brainstormed. It’s hundreds deep, and my “finisher” personality struggles with it. Crossing off every recipe on that list would be the most satisfying thing ever. But for every one I check off, I come up with six more. The cycle never ends.
Then I came across these chocolate cheesecake bars, and I couldn’t stop thinking about them. You have to check out Baker by Nature’s stunning photos. They are pure art. But I kept imagining how perfect they’d be with a layer of dulce de leche. Once the idea hit, it became a must.
So, all my other recipes are on hold, and Cade’s are too. Grab your comfiest sweatpants, fire up Netflix, and settle in. These dulce de leche chocolate cheesecake bars are worth staying in for. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
Is Dulce de Leche the Same As Caramel?

My sister and her family make little single serving Rice Krispie treats so that they don’t have a bunch of dessert sitting around that everyone keeps munching on. I thought it was such a great idea!
Here is a special glimpse into a typical evening in the Cheney household. We get the kids down for bed, and all we want to do is sit down with a sweet treat and veg! Is this how it is at your house too? Or are we the only ones? The problem is that most sweet treats come in large quantities. This Rice Krispie treat in a mug for one has been our go-to lately!
The other problem is that we have no time to veg! After the kids are in bed is our prime time to jam out most of our work on the blog. But we aren’t complaining!

Rice Krispie Treats – A History

Rice Krispie Treats for Special Diets
You can buy Rice Krispies that are gluten free. Just make sure the box says “Gluten Free” on the front. They are different than your regular Rice Krispies. The Great Value Walmart brand is my go-to!
Butter and marshmallows are gluten-free. That is great news for our gluten free friends! However with the butter in there, it is not dairy-free. There is an easy solution for that…just replace the butter with coconut oil! It works like a charm and still tastes like the Rice Krispie treat you know and love!
