Here’s a simple, no-bake Peanut Butter Balls recipe—sweet, chocolaty, and perfect for snacks or treats 🥜🍫
Peanut Butter Balls
Makes about 24 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers (or 2 cups Rice Krispies for a crunchier version)
- 12 oz chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
Instructions
1. Make the Peanut Butter Mixture
- In a large bowl, mix peanut butter and softened butter until smooth.
- Stir in powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers until a dough forms.
2. Shape the Balls
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill in the fridge 30–60 minutes to firm up.
3. Coat in Chocolate
- Melt chocolate (and oil if using) in a microwave or double boiler.
- Dip each peanut butter ball into the chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place back on parchment paper.
4. Chill & Serve
- Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Tips & Variations
- Peanut butter alternatives: almond butter, cashew butter
- Add-ins: chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut inside
- Seasoning twist: sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on top of chocolate before it sets
