Peanut butter balls are a delightful, bite-sized treat that combine the rich flavors of peanut butter and walnuts with the sweetness of brown sugar. They are easy to make and perfect for sharing with family and friends. Follow this simple recipe to create these delicious snacks.
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!
