✔ Endlessly customizable (see pro tips below!)

Ingredients

The Base:

  • Creamy peanut butter – Avoid natural PB (too oily). For nut-free, use sunflower seed butter.
  • Graham crumbs – Substitute gluten-free crumbs or crushed pretzels for salty crunch.
  • Powdered sugar – Sift first to prevent lumps.

Chocolate Coating:

  • Chocolate chips – Use dark, milk, or white chocolate. For premium shine, add 1 tsp coconut oil when melting.

Chef’s Secret: A pinch of sea salt in the PB mixture elevates all flavors!

Instructions

1. Perfect Dough Consistency

  • If too sticky: Add 1 tbsp extra powdered sugar.
  • If too dry: Drizzle in 1 tsp milk or honey.

2. Rolling Pro Trick

  • Wear food-safe gloves (or rub hands with butter) to prevent sticking.
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform sizes.

3. Chocolate-Dipping Mastery

  • Skewer method: Stick a toothpick in each ball, dip, then swirl to cover. Patch the hole after.
  • Fork method: Roll ball in chocolate, lift with a fork, tap off excess.

Bonus: Sprinkle with flaky salt, crushed nuts, or sprinkles before chocolate sets!

Notes

  • Room temp: 3 days in airtight container (if they last that long!).
  • Fridge: 2 weeks (texture stays perfect).
  • Freezer: 3 months—thaw 10 mins before eating.
