Easy Peanut Butter Balls - A Delicious Treat

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up these delicious Peanut Butter Balls:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (for dipping)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth chocolate)

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Peanut Butter Balls:

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix until well blended.
  2. Add the graham cracker crumbs to the mixture and stir until everything is combined into a firm dough.
  3. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in size) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  5. While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s completely melted and smooth. If desired, stir in the coconut oil to help with the consistency.
  6. Remove the peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift the balls out of the chocolate and let the excess drip off.
  7. Return the chocolate-covered balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all have been coated, place them in the refrigerator again for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.

Enjoy these delectable Easy Peanut Butter Balls as a sweet treat at any gathering, or keep them all for yourself—no judgment here! They’re perfect for sharing with friends and family, or simply savoring during a quiet evening at home. Satisfy your cravings today!
