Description
No Bake Peanut Butter Balls are easy, delicious treats made with creamy peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar, coated in melted chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Melted chocolate for dipping and decoration
Instructions
- In a bowl, add peanut butter and softened butter. Mix using a mixer until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
- Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until the mixture thickens to a cookie dough consistency.
- Line a plate or tray with parchment paper.
- Roll approximately one tablespoon of dough into a ball. Place it on the prepared tray and repeat with the remaining dough. Adjust ball size to preference if desired.
- Place the peanut butter balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes to set and harden.
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl using your preferred melting method.
- Remove the hardened peanut butter balls from the freezer. Dip or drizzle with melted chocolate as desired. Chocolate coating can also be skipped.
- Return the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls to the freezer to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Transfer frozen peanut butter balls into a freezer-safe bag or container. Store in the freezer for up to one month and enjoy as desired.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, consider adding chopped nuts or using crunchy peanut butter.
- These can also be rolled in crushed graham crackers or coconut for added texture.
- Make them vegan by using a dairy-free butter alternative and dairy-free chocolate.
