These easy no bake peanut butter balls are a holiday staple in our home. Crunchy, sweet, peanut buttery, and made with only 7 pantry-staple ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter or butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp almond extract
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups grape nuts cereal
  • 2 cups chocolate for dipping the balls into

Instructions

  • Melt the peanut butter and butter together and mix well (you can melt these two by placing them in a microwave safe bowl and microwaving them for 10 seconds. Repeat another 10 seconds and so on until they are melted but not hot)
  • Add in the vanilla extract
  • Add in the almond extract and mix well
  • Add in the powdered sugar as well as the cereal and mix well using a spoon.
  • Then, when all ingredients are well incorporated, lightly grease your hands with a bit of oil or butter and roll spoonfuls of the mixture in your hands. Roll them into balls until all the mixture has been used up.
  • Chill peanut butter balls in the fridge for 30 minutes or so.
  • Melt your favorite chocolate ( I used milk and white). You can melt your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Again, microwaving at 10 second intervals until chocolate is melted or use a double boiler.
  • Then dip the chilled peanut butter balls into the chocolate. I used a fork to rolls the balls around in the chocolate and then gently remove them from the chocolate.
  • Then place them on parchment paper until the chocolate hardens. You can add some sprinkles if you like to give them a festive feel or leave them plain. If you chose to add sprinkles make sure you add them before the chocolate hardens.
