Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the walnuts finely if they are not pre-chopped.
- Measure out all the ingredients to ensure you have the correct quantities.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
- Once the butter is melted, add the 2 cups of brown sugar. Stir continuously until the mixture is well combined and forms a smooth consistency.
- Add the 1 cup of peanut butter to the saucepan. Stir until the peanut butter is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the 1 cup of chopped walnuts to the mixture. Stir until the walnuts are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Let the mixture cool slightly so it is easier to handle, but not completely. While the mixture is still warm and pliable, scoop out small portions using a spoon or ice cream scoop.
- Roll each portion between your palms to form balls, about 1 inch in diameter. If the mixture is too sticky, you can lightly grease your hands with some butter or cooking spray.
- Place the formed balls on a parchment or wax paper-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
- Once the peanut butter balls are firm, they are ready to serve.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container. These can be kept at room temperature for a few days or refrigerated for up to a week.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- Use a food processor to finely chop the walnuts for a smoother texture.
- If the mixture is too sticky to handle, refrigerate it for 15-20 minutes before shaping the balls.
- Coat the peanut butter balls in melted chocolate or roll them in powdered sugar for an extra treat.
- Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh.
Peanut butter balls are a quick and tasty treat that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create these delightful bites in no time. Experiment with different coatings and enjoy sharing them with loved ones!
