Today is my Dad’s birthday! And to celebrate, we’re doing a bit of a Christmas hop between our home and my sister’s home. Mom and Dad don’t always have the opportunity to see our homes and Christmas trees over the holidays because we normally travel to their house to celebrate.

I’m so looking forward to the next few days, spending time with family and celebrating Christmas. I actually feel. . .ready. And it feels so good. A week ago I felt like I was still scrambling and had a long list of to do’s, but today, I’m ready to relax, enjoy and just BE IN THE MOMENT!

Over the weekend, the kids wanted to make some sweets, and these Christmas Peanut Butter Balls were just the thing to get us into Christmas spirit! No oven is needed – just a microwave! So gather your ingredients and let’s make these yummy, festive truffles!

HOW TO MAKE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

To make peanut butter balls, you’ll need:

  • Powdered sugar
  • Creamy peanut butter
  • Butter
  • White almond bark
  • Sprinkles
  • ROOM IN YOUR FRIDGE & FREEZER – Make sure you have enough room in your fridge and freezer for the chilling and freezing stages of making this treat before you start!

Start by combining your sugar, peanut butter and butter in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Butter, powdered sugar and peanut butter in a bowl

Mix it all together until it’s well combined and then place the peanut butter mixture into the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Once the mixture is chilled and easier to work with, shape it into 1-inch balls and place them onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE DOUGH IS READY TO SHAPE?

The dough should be firm enough to be able to shape the mixture into a ball. If it’s still not holding together, just add a little more powdered sugar until you reach the correct consistency.

Go ahead and freeze the peanut butter balls for 30 minutes or just put them outside the patio doors in the snow like we do here in Wisconsin.?

When the balls are ready, use a spoon to dip them into the melted almond bark. If you would rather use a darker chocolate, eight ounces of chopped semi-sweet chocolate or chocolate chips would be a good substitute!

And then, just EAT it! Just kidding.?

WHAT IF YOU’RE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH DIPPING?

If you’re having a bit of trouble using a spoon to dip the peanut butter balls in the almond bark, you could also try a wooden skewer. Use a fork to help push the peanut butter ball off of the skewer onto your lined baking sheet. 

Place the dipped balls onto a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper, add some sprinkles and let them set.

CAN YOU MAKE THE PEANUT BUTTER DOUGH AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes, you can make the dough a couple days ahead of time. Just keep it tightly wrapped in plastic in the fridge. When you’re ready, remove the dough from the fridge and start shaping it into the 1-inch balls.

CAN YOU FREEZE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS?

Yes! Peanut butter balls actually can last about two weeks just at room temperature but you can freeze them for up to 6 months if you want to save some for after Christmas!
