No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Prep Time: 20 mins | Chill Time: 30 mins | Total Time: 50 mins
Servings: About 24 balls
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (375 g) creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 3 cups (360 g) powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1 ½ cups (255 g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions:
- Mix the peanut butter base:
- In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and moldable.
- Form the balls:
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (about 1 tbsp each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Coat the balls:
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Return to the parchment paper and let set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster hardening.
- Serve & store:
- Once the chocolate is set, enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
Tips & Variations:
- Crunchy twist: Use crunchy peanut butter or mix in crushed graham crackers.
- Decorations: Drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle with sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- Healthier option: Use dark chocolate and natural peanut butter (adjust sugar as needed).
