Christmas Peanut Butter Balls
Creamy peanut butter and cream cheese rolled into bite-sized balls, dipped in smooth chocolate, and topped with festive red sprinkles. These easy no-bake holiday treats are perfect for gifting, parties, or enjoying with hot cocoa.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips semisweet, dark or milk
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil to help smooth the chocolate
- Red jimmies or other Christmas-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat together the peanut butter and softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Add in the powdered sugar a little at a time until fully combined. The mixture will be thick, like cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop, melon baller, or spoon, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If you’d like, pop them into the fridge for about 30 minutes to make dipping easier, but you don't have to.
- Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
- Use a fork or dipping tool to dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with red jimmies or other Christmas sprinkles
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, then transfer to a container for storage. Keep them chilled until ready to serve so the chocolate stays firm.
