Ah, No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls — sweet, nutty, and super easy to make 🍫🥜. They’re perfect for a quick dessert or snack. Here’s a classic recipe:
🥜 No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients (makes ~24 balls)
- 1 cup (250 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups (200 g) powdered sugar
- 3 cups (240 g) graham cracker crumbs (or crushed digestive biscuits)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups (340 g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate for coating
Instructions
- Mix filling:
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla.
- Gradually mix in powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs until the mixture is firm but pliable.
- Form balls: Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Coat in chocolate:
- Melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler.
- Dip each peanut butter ball into chocolate, letting excess drip off. Return to parchment.
- Set: Refrigerate until chocolate is firm, about 15–30 minutes.
- Serve: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Tips
- Crunchy variation: Add crushed nuts or rice cereal to the filling.
- Peanut butter swap: Use natural peanut butter for a less sweet, more nutty flavor.
- Chocolate coating: Mix semi-sweet and milk chocolate for a balanced flavor.
- Storage: Keep in fridge for 1–2 weeks; can also freeze for longer storage.
I can also give a super-quick 3-ingredient version that uses just peanut butter, powdered sugar, and chocolate — ready in 15 minutes with no chilling required.
