peanut butter balls recipe Dark Chocolate Dip With Peanut Dust
- Total Time: 82 minutes
- Yield: 3 dozen balls 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian, Gluten-Free (optional dairy-free)
Description
This easy no-bake peanut butter balls recipe features a rich dark chocolate dip and a sprinkle of peanut dust, perfect for quick desserts or special family treats.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup softened unsalted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
- 0.5 cup roasted peanuts, finely chopped
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well combined and a soft, pliable dough forms.
- Roll Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls.
- Chill Balls: Place the peanut butter balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy.
- Dip And Dust: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Immediately place back on the parchment-lined sheet and sprinkle generously with chopped peanut dust before the chocolate sets.
- Final Chill: Return the dipped peanut butter balls to the refrigerator for another 15-30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
Notes
For variations, try almond or cashew butter, powdered erythritol for reduced sugar, or plant-based butter and vegan chocolate for dairy-free. Add a pinch of sea salt (about 0.25 tsp) to the peanut butter mixture or fold in mini chocolate chips or crushed pretzels for extra texture. For quicker setting, place balls in the freezer for 10-15 minutes instead of the fridge. If chocolate is too thick, stir in more coconut oil; if the peanut butter mixture is too sticky, add more powdered sugar.
