So today I wanted to share one of my favorite peanut butter and chocolate desserts &#8211; this homemade peanut butter ball recipe.<\/p>\n<p>These peanut butter balls are a wonderful recipe to make year-round because they&#8217;re completely no-bake, which means you don&#8217;t have to worry about turning your oven on. You only need five ingredients to make them&nbsp;and that&#8217;s including a little bit of vanilla extract and salt.<\/p>\n<p>This recipe will make about 3 dozen peanut butter balls, but you can easily cut it in half to make less. These will also freeze well for several months so they&#8217;re a great recipe that you can prep ahead of time!<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19116 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-9.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"The ingredients needed for chocolate covered peanut butter balls on top of a marble surface. \" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-9.jpg?w=745&amp;ssl=1 745w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-9.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-9.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-9.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for This&nbsp;Recipe<\/h2>\n<p>To make these no-bake peanut butter balls, you&#8217;ll start with some simple ingredients. Let&#8217;s break down each one!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Unsalted Butter:<\/strong>&nbsp;Since the peanut butter will have a little bit of salt in it, I suggest sticking with unsalted butter. Make sure to set your butter out ahead of time so that it can come to room temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Peanut Butter:&nbsp;<\/strong>You&#8217;ll want to stick with a no-stir peanut butter like Jif or Skippy so that these set up properly.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Powdered Sugar:&nbsp;<\/strong>The powdered sugar helps to sweeten the peanut butter filling and firms it up so it&#8217;s easier to roll into balls.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vanilla Extract &amp; Salt:&nbsp;<\/strong>The vanilla adds a little flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Semi-Sweet Chocolate:<\/strong>&nbsp;The chocolate comes after you&#8217;ve mixed up the filling. I used semi-sweet chocolate bars for this recipe, but feel free to swap the semi-sweet chocolate for your favorite kind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19008 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-3.jpg?resize=745%2C1118&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A baking sheet lined with the rolled peanut butter mixture.\" width=\"745\" height=\"1118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-3.jpg?w=745&amp;ssl=1 745w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-3.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-3.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 682w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-3.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>How to Make Peanut Butter Balls<\/h2>\n<p>You&#8217;ll start by mixing the butter and peanut butter together until well combined. Then mix in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. I suggest stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make sure everything is well combined.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve mixed up the filling, you&#8217;ll scoop the mixture and roll it into balls. I like to use a one tablespoon measuring spoon or cookie scoop for this part because it makes the perfect sized peanut butter balls.<\/p>\n<p>As you&#8217;re rolling them, I suggest placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper because you&#8217;ll need to freeze these&nbsp;before you coat them in chocolate. I find that about 20 minutes is enough time for them to firm up and make it easy to dip.<\/p>\n<p>Once the balls are frozen, you&#8217;ll coat them in some chocolate. I used semi-sweet chocolate for this recipe because it&#8217;s not too sweet and not too bitter. If you love white chocolate or dark chocolate feel free to use that instead!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have any dipping tools, you can easily coat the peanut butter balls in chocolate using a fork and toothpick. Simply toss each one into the chocolate&nbsp;until fully coated, use a fork to lift them out of the bowl, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate, then use a toothpick to slide them off of the fork onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<p>Once they&#8217;re all coated in chocolate, you will want to refrigerate them for 45 minutes to an hour so the chocolate can harden. Once they&#8217;re ready, you can either enjoy them or leave them in the refrigerator or freezer until you&#8217;re ready to serve them!<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-19009 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-4.jpg?resize=745%2C1117&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A white bowl filled with melted chocolate and a ball of the peanut butter mixture being dipped in it. \" width=\"745\" height=\"1117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-4.jpg?w=745&amp;ssl=1 745w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-4.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-4.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Peanut-Butter-Balls-4.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 745px) 100vw, 745px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>Can I Use Natural Peanut Butter?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>No, you should make these chocolate peanut butter balls using a traditional no-stir peanut butter like Jif or Skippy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Can I Use Another Nut Butter?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n<p>Possibly, so long as it&#8217;s thick and creamy like traditional no-stir peanut butter.
