No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
I’ve been eating no bake cookies for as long as I can remember. They’re just something so good about chocolate and oats that I can’t forget. But once I made these no bake peanut butter balls, it’s safe to say that I may have a new favorite treat.
The combination of peanut butter and chocolate is wonderful and is just perfect. Not to mention this recipe makes quite a large portion so there is plenty to go around.
These are great for your holiday dessert table or are fun to make and box up to share with family and friends. The more that you can give and share homemade food, the better!
Ingredients needed to make Peanut Butter No Bake Chocolate Balls
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- Sprinkles
How To Make Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Mix together peanut butter and butter
Gradually add in powdered sugar stirring until well combined
Chill in refrigerator 15 minutes
Scoop and roll into balls, about 1″, place on wax paper-lined tray or plate
Return to refrigerator for 20 minutes
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave stirring until smooth
Dip balls in chocolate, place on the wax paper-lined tray, decorate with sprinkles
Place back in refrigerator for chocolate to set up
For individual serving, it’s pretty to place in a paper liner. Also, less messy to pick up.
What type of peanut butter works best?
I typically use creamy peanut butter because I like the texture but crunchy would work fine as well. You can try it one way and always switch it up to have options as well.
How do you store leftover peanut butter balls?
All you need to do to keep them fresh is to store them in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge.
This recipe is also great for creating a fun “no baking” day with family and friends. I typically love to have a day centered around holiday baking so it just makes sense to add these to the mix.
And since you’re not actually “baking”, it just adds fun to the mix.
Have fun making these no bake desserts! They’re so simple and easy to do!
Great for all Holidays and Occasions
Just change up the color of sprinkles for any holiday or event you might be having, or even no sprinkles for just snacking on.

I never had these but they look so good and easy.
Thanks for sharing
I have made these for years – AND YEARS. Back in the day I used a little parafin wax, which is edible, but harder to find.
