⚠️ Let Me Warn You… These Are Completely Addictive!
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Party Bites
I’m not exaggerating when I say these little bites disappear fast. I made them for a party, set the tray down “just for a minute,” and somehow half the batch vanished before we even made it out the door. Whoops! 😅
They’re rich, creamy, chocolatey, and dangerously easy to eat. No oven, no fancy tools, and no waiting around — just pure dessert bliss in every bite.
📝 Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Filling:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- Pinch of salt (optional, but recommended)
For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or butter (for smooth melting)
Optional Toppings (for extra flair):
- Crushed peanuts
- Sea salt flakes
- Sprinkles
- Drizzle of white chocolate
👩🍳 Instructions
- Make the Filling
In a large bowl, mix the melted butter and peanut butter until smooth.
Add vanilla and gradually stir in powdered sugar until a soft, moldable dough forms. - Shape the Bites
Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each).
Place them on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm. - Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. - Dip & Decorate
Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate.
Place back on the tray and add toppings while the chocolate is still wet. - Set & Serve
Refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate is firm.
Try not to eat them all immediately (good luck).
