Recipe
Peanut butter balls are easy, no-bake dessert with a satiny chocolate coating that will deliciously melt in your mouth. This treat has everything your sweet-craving heart desires. Firstly, it features peanut butter for flavor, creaminess, and texture. Secondly, dark chocolate gives it that kick of decadence. Finally, powdered sugar adds additional thickness and sweetness.
Made with an electric mixer with a few simple, pantry-staple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, these are comforting sweet treats to look forward to after a meal or as an afternoon on-the-go pick-me-up.

Return the balls to the fridge for half an hour to let the chocolate set. |
Keep the peanut butter balls separated from each other on the baking sheet lest the melted chocolate smudges before having time to set. Not only are these treats incredibly delicious, but also convenient to take on the go and store. You can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, though our peanut butter balls are so tasty that they have little chance of not being eaten right away.
