These Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls are a delightful no-bake treat combining creamy peanut butter and buttery sweetness rolled in a rich chocolate coating. Perfect for parties, gift-giving, or an indulgent snack, these bite-sized confections are quick to prepare and store beautifully in the fridge or freezer.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pound powdered sugar

Coating

  • 1 pound chocolate almond bark, melted

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended, forming a dough-like consistency.
  2. Shape Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1 inch sized balls. Place the balls on a tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to harden, making them easier to coat.
  3. Coat with Chocolate: Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate almond bark, ensuring they are fully covered. Place the coated balls on parchment-lined sheets and let the chocolate harden completely before serving.
  4. Storage: Store the peanut butter chocolate balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. They also freeze well if you want to keep them longer.

Notes

  • Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter based on preference; creamy results in smoother texture.
  • Allow the chocolate to fully harden before handling to prevent smudges.
  • Keep stored refrigerated for up to two weeks or freeze for up to three months.
  • Rolling the balls evenly helps ensure uniform cooking and presentation.
  • Almond bark melts and hardens smoothly, making it ideal for coating; chocolate chips or candy melts are good alternatives.
