No-bake peanut butter balls are the ultimate homemade treat. They taste like a peanut butter cup and they’re made with simple pantry ingredients. This is the perfect recipe for a holiday spread, edible gifts, or just because!
What sets this recipe apart
No bake, no fuss: No stovetop cooking and no candy thermometer. They’re approachable for beginners yet consistently impressive.
Balanced flavor: I found most recipes for peanut butter balls to be way too sweet. These have the perfect amount of peanut butter flavor balanced with just the right amount of sweetness.
Make ahead: Pop these in the fridge for several days or freezer for a couple months. They hold up well without losing their texture.
Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (176g) creamy peanut butter
- 5 tablespoons salted butter, softened to cool room temp
- 1½ cups (180g) powdered sugar
- ¾ cup (82g) graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 10 oz chocolate candy coating, I use Ghirardelli melting wafers
- sprinkles and/or chopped salted peanuts, for garnish
Prep Time:
30 minutes
Total Time:
210 minutes
