Easy Peanut Butter Snowball Truffles
Peanut butter snowballs are a classic no-bake confection that’s perfect for any occasion. They’re easy to make, require just a few ingredients, and always a crowd-pleaser.
The combination of rich peanut butter and sweet chocolate is irresistible, and the powdered sugar coating adds a touch of wintery charm.
Questions I often get asked about when making these snowballs:
Q: What type of peanut butter is best for this recipe?
A: Creamy peanut butter is the best choice for this recipe, as it will make the dough smooth and easy to roll. You can also use crunchy peanut butter, but the snowballs will have a slightly different texture.
Q: Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate chips?
A: Yes, you can use any type of chocolate that you like. Milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate would all be delicious options.
Q: How can I get the chocolate coating to be thicker?
A: To get a thicker chocolate coating, you can double-dip the snowballs in the chocolate. Just let the first layer of chocolate set before dipping them again.
Q: Can I freeze the peanut butter snowballs?
A: Yes, you can freeze the peanut butter snowballs for up to 3 months. Just place them in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Q: How long will the peanut butter snowballs last at room temperature?
A: The peanut butter snowballs will last for about 3 days at room temperature.
Q: Can I make this recipe with almond butter instead of peanut butter?
A: Yes, you can make this recipe with almond butter instead of peanut butter. The snowballs will have a slightly different flavor, but they will be just as delicious.
What you need:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup melted white chocolate chips
1/4 cup melted milk chocolate chips
Sprinkles, optional
How to make them:
In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Mix well until a dough forms.
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Freeze the snowballs for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Dip each frozen snowball in the melted white chocolate, coating completely.
Place the coated snowballs back on the baking sheet and freeze for another 10 minutes.
Dip each white chocolate-coated snowball in the melted milk chocolate, coating completely.
Place the coated snowballs back on the baking sheet and drizzle with additional milk chocolate.
Sprinkle the snowballs with sprinkles, if desired.
Refrigerate the snowballs for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
Tips:
For a thicker white chocolate shell, dip the frozen snowballs in the melted white chocolate twice, allowing the first layer to set before dipping again.
You can also use a double boiler to melt the chocolate chips for a more controlled temperature.
If you want to avoid using sprinkles, you can roll the snowballs in chopped nuts or shredded coconut.
