Why Make This Recipe

Peanut Butter Balls are a delicious and easy treat that anyone can enjoy. They are perfect for satisfying sweet cravings, making them a great snack for kids and adults alike. Plus, they require no baking, which means you can whip them up quickly without turning on the oven. These treats are great for parties, picnics, or just for sharing with friends and family.

How to Make Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, mix together peanut butter, powdered sugar, and crushed graham crackers until well combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small balls and place them on a baking sheet.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth.
  4. Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Return the chocolate-dipped balls to the baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
  6. Serve and enjoy your no-bake peanut butter balls!

How to Serve Peanut Butter Balls

You can serve Peanut Butter Balls as a dessert or snack on their own. They can also be placed in decorative bowls when hosting a gathering. For a fun twist, serve them with fruit or alongside some crunchy snacks. Kids love them as an afternoon treat, while adults can enjoy them with coffee or tea.

How to Store Peanut Butter Balls

Keep your Peanut Butter Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for about one week when stored properly. If you want to keep them for longer, you can also freeze them. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to avoid sticking.

Tips to Make Peanut Butter Balls

  • Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on your choice for texture.
  • If you want the balls sweeter, add a bit more powdered sugar.
  • When dipping in chocolate, work quickly to avoid the chocolate hardening too fast.
  • For a fun topping, sprinkle some crushed nuts or sprinkles on top of the chocolate coating before it hardens.

Variation

You can add small pieces of your favorite candy or nuts to the peanut butter mixture for extra flavor and texture. You can also use white chocolate instead of regular chocolate for a different taste.

FAQs

Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?

Yes, you can substitute almond butter for peanut butter if you prefer. The taste will be slightly different, but it still makes a tasty treat.

How do I know when the chocolate is melted?

Melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between, until it is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat it.

Can I make these without chocolate?

Absolutely! You can enjoy the peanut butter balls plain or rolled in crushed nuts or coconut instead of dipping them in chocolate.
