No-bake chocolate peanut butter balls

Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls—perfect for a quick dessert or snack 🍫🥜

Makes: ~20–24 balls
Time: ~20 minutes (plus chilling)

1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups crushed graham crackers (or 2 cups Rice Krispies for a crunchier texture)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, makes chocolate coating shinier)

Mix the filling:
- In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and crushed graham crackers.
- Stir until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to roll into balls.
Form balls:
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill:
- Refrigerate the balls for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Melt chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Coat the balls:
- Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Place back on the parchment-lined tray.
Set:
- Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until chocolate is firm.
Serve:
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Nut-free: Use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
Crunchy: Mix in chopped nuts or Rice Krispies for texture.
Decorate: Sprinkle with crushed peanuts, sea salt, or drizzle with white chocolate.
Mini version: Make smaller ½-inch balls for bite-sized treats.
