Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Mixture
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Coating and Decoration
- 8 ounces white chocolate bark (or white chocolate bar or chips)
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Use a stand mixer with a paddle attachment or mix by hand until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs into the peanut butter mixture, stirring continuously until everything is thoroughly incorporated and creates a firm dough-like mixture.
- Form Snowballs: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or a small scoop, portion the mixture and roll each scoop into a smooth ball with your hands.
- Chill: Place the rolled peanut butter balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up before coating.
- Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat heating and stirring 1-2 more times until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Snowballs: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted white chocolate. Gently lift and tap off excess chocolate by tapping the fork on the side of the bowl.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Decorate: Transfer remaining melted white chocolate to a plastic or piping bag, snip off a small corner, and drizzle over the truffles. Add holiday sprinkles on top if desired.
- Set: Refrigerate the decorated snowballs for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set firmly before serving.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for the smoothest texture.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Microwave the white chocolate in short bursts to prevent burning.
- Store the finished snowballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a festive touch, try using colored sprinkles or edible glitter.
