Creamy peanut butter and chocolate pair beautifully in this no-bake treat, while the caramel drizzle takes them to the next level of decadence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • ½ cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Sea salt flakes (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Filling

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring until a thick, moldable dough forms.

Step 2: Shape the Snowballs

  1. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. Freeze the balls for 20-30 minutes until firm.

Step 3: Coat with Chocolate

  1. Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
  3. Place the coated balls back on the baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set by chilling them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

Step 4: Drizzle with Caramel

  1. Once the chocolate is firm, drizzle the caramel sauce over the snowballs using a spoon or a piping bag for a neat finish.
  2. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes if desired for an extra touch of flavor.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Let the caramel drizzle set for a few minutes before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Chill the Dough: Freezing the balls before dipping helps them hold their shape in the melted chocolate.
  • Use High-Quality Chocolate: Good-quality chocolate chips or baking chocolate will elevate the flavor.
  • Customize: Add a handful of crushed pretzels, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut to the peanut butter mixture for extra texture.
  • Homemade Caramel: If you have the time, homemade caramel sauce adds an extra layer of richness.
