No-bake chocolate peanut butter balls are a simple and delicious treat that require only a few ingredients. Here’s a basic recipe for three-ingredient no-bake chocolate peanut butter balls:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate on the stove using a double boiler.
- In a separate bowl, mix the peanut butter and powdered sugar until well combined. The mixture should be thick and dough-like.
- Combine the melted chocolate with the peanut butter and sugar mixture. Stir until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes, or until they are firm and no longer sticky.
- Once the peanut butter balls are set, you can enjoy them immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
