The Ingredients You’ll Need
The beauty of peanut butter balls lies in their simplicity. With just a few basic ingredients, you can create a sweet, satisfying treat that’s perfect for snacking or sharing. Here’s what you’ll need:
• 1 cup creamy peanut butter: The base of the recipe, peanut butter gives the balls their rich, nutty flavor and creamy texture. Choose creamy peanut butter for a smooth, easy-to-mix filling.
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened: This helps bind the ingredients together and adds a subtle richness to the peanut butter mixture.
• 3-4 cups powdered sugar: Powdered sugar sweetens the peanut butter mixture and gives it the perfect consistency to roll into balls. You can adjust the amount based on how sweet or firm you want your balls to be.
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract: A hint of vanilla enhances the flavor of the peanut butter filling and rounds out the sweetness.
• Chocolate chips (optional): For those who love the combination of chocolate and peanut butter, dipping the balls in melted chocolate is a delicious option. It adds an extra layer of sweetness and makes them look even more irresistible.
