Chocolate Covered Raspberries with Peanut Butter Recipe

These Chocolate Covered Raspberries with Peanut Butter are satisfying and delicious. They are made with fresh raspberries, peanut butter and a chocolate shell. The chocolate adds a nice crunch which contrasts the peanut butter filling and fresh raspberries.

If you have a major sweet tooth like me, these little bites are the perfect treat.

The peanut butter filling makes this a high-protein treat by using a peanut butter powder. However, you can use regular peanut butter for the filling as well!

TIP: Adding a little flaky sea salt on top flawlessly contrasts the sweetness of each bite.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

Scroll down to the recipe card to see a full list of ingredients and their measurements.

• Fresh Raspberries – Try to get large-sized raspberries as they will have a better hole for the filling. Frozen raspberries would not work for this recipe.
• PB Powder or Peanut Butter – Either will work with this recipe, it mostly depends on your preference.
• Dark Chocolate Chips – Create the perfect chocolate coating without adding too much sweetness. However, you could use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips as well!
• Coconut Oil – Used for melting with the chocolate chips to create a nice shine.
• Flaky Sea Salt – Contrasts the sweetness of the chocolate coating and pairs well with the other ingredients. It is optional for adding on top, but highly recommend it!

Why You’ll Love These Chocolate Covered Raspberries

While there are quite a few reasons that you will love this recipe, I wanted to highlight three of them:

• These bites have a crisp chocolate shell, a bright raspberry center, and a creamy peanut butter filling that makes them stand out from plain dipped berries.
• They are simple to make and require no baking.
• Tastes like a peanut butter and jelly treat wrapped in a luscious layer of chocolate.

Different Ways to Make the Peanut Butter Filling

When making this recipe, I typically use peanut butter powder. For this, I mix the peanut butter powder with water (or milk) to make the perfect consistency for piping the peanut butter filling. However, this peanut butter powder is also higher in protein than your typical peanut butter.

You can also use regular peanut butter to make this recipe. Just make sure it is firm enough to stay in the raspberries on its own. Leaving a jar of peanut butter in the fridge will help to thicken the peanut butter if it is too loose.

Recipe Tips and Tricks

While this recipe is simple, there are a few tips and tricks that are helpful for making this recipe.

• Make sure the raspberries are completely dry.
• If using peanut butter powder, add small amounts of liquid at a time to get the ideal thickness to pipe the filling into the raspberries.
• Don’t overheat the chocolate, it will cause it to seize and become a grainy texture.
• I use a fork to drop the raspberries into the chocolate, coat them and then place easily on the parchment paper.
