Here’s a classic, no-bake Peanut Butter Balls recipe—sweet, chocolatey, and perfect for snacks or holidays 🥜🍫
🥜 Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs (or crushed vanilla wafers)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or butter (optional, for smoother chocolate coating)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well combined.
- Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt chocolate (with shortening if using) in a microwave or double boiler, stirring until smooth.
- Dip peanut butter balls into melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Place coated balls back on parchment paper.
- Chill until chocolate is set, about 1 hour.
🌟 Tips & Variations
- Roll in chopped peanuts, sprinkles, or coconut before chocolate sets
- Use dark or milk chocolate for different flavor
- Add a pinch of sea salt on top for a sweet-salty combo
- Store in airtight container in the fridge
I can also give a microwave shortcut version or a holiday peppermint twist if you want 😄
