Classic peanut butter balls coming right up—easy, no-bake, and hard to mess up 😄
🥜 Peanut Butter Balls (No-Bake)
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½–2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, helps chocolate melt smoothly)
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20–30 minutes (important!).
- Melt chocolate (microwave in 20–30 sec bursts, stirring each time).
- Dip the chilled balls in chocolate. Use a fork, tap off excess.
- Set back on parchment and chill until firm.
Optional Upgrades
- ✨ Add ½ cup crushed graham crackers for texture
- 🧂 Sprinkle a little sea salt on top before the chocolate sets
- 🌱 Use natural peanut butter + dark chocolate for a less-sweet version
- 🥥 Roll the centers in coconut instead of chocolate-dipping
If you want, I can:
- Make it 3-ingredient
- Make it healthier
- Scale it for a party
- Or adapt it for allergies
Just say the word.
