Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are one of those holiday treats that have always been made in my family! Chocolate and peanut butter go hand in hand. These also double as a holiday treat, but also a dessert that can be thrown into holiday dessert exchanges and served at holiday parties.
Now, these are not an everyday treat or dessert. I eat these in moderation, but I know i personally derail my goals if I don’t enjoy treats like these that I love. While there aren’t easy healthy swaps for this, you can give the bulk away and enjoy a set amount. (I know easier said than done.)

How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls:
In a bowl, flatten the butter with a fork, then mix in the peanut butter and powdered sugar well using your fork.
In a small saucepan, start to melt your chocolate at a low-temperature setting. Be sure to stir with a spatula to avoid the chocolate burning.
Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls and set them aside.
Next, when the chocolate is melted, roll the balls into the pan of melted chocolate.
Once the balls of peanut butter are coated, remove them and set them on parchment paper once coated until hardened.
You can do this process with a fork or a spoon.
How to store chocolate covered peanut butter balls
Store in an air-tight container for up to five days. You can store them in the fridge to stop the chocolate from being too soft in a warm house.
Freezing allows the balls to chill entirely before putting them in an air-tight container in the freezer.
I love how these look in a mason jar! I think they would be fun to give as a gift with a fun label. I know when our friend brought them over, it was in a larger mason jar and was packed full.
