Christmas Peanut Butter Balls
These festive no-bake Christmas Peanut Butter Balls are a quick, crowd-pleasing holiday dessert, blending creamy peanut butter and decadent chocolate in every bite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (natural or traditional)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (for coating)
- festive sprinkles (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat together creamy peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough and roll into 1-inch balls, placing each on a parchment-lined tray for easy handling.
- Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for about 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch, making dipping simpler.
- Melt chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or microwave in short bursts, stirring until silky smooth.
- Use a fork or dipping tool to coat each chilled ball in melted chocolate, then return to the tray and add sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Chill dipped balls for another 15 minutes, or until chocolate is completely firm, then transfer to airtight containers.
