Peanut Butter Snowball Candy
These peanut butter snowballs have a creamy peanut butter filling surrounded in a white chocolate shell. Dip them fully for snowballs, or leave a little bit of filling showing for white chocolate buckeyes. Either way, they are really delicious. They taste like a white chocolate Reese's peanut butter cup!
Servings: 50 Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients
- 1 16 oz. jar creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter softened
- 3½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pound white chocolate or almond bark
Instructions
- Beat ½ cup butter until it is smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the 1 16 oz. jar creamy peanut butter until combined.
- Add 3½ cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 pinch salt. Mix until combined. It may look crumbly, but should come together after a few kneads with your hands.
- Scoop about a Tablespoon of dough (I use a small cookie scoop) and roll it into a ball between your palms. Place on a parchment or wax paper lined baking sheet.
- Repeat until all of the peanut mixture is rolled into balls. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- When ready to coat, gently melt 1 pound white chocolate or almond bark in the microwave or a double boiler.
- Dip each peanut butter ball in the melted white chocolate, tapping to remove excess chocolate and then place on wax paper to set.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for several days or in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
