No Bake Peanut Butter Snowballs
Description
This recipe combines softened butter, peanut butter, and confectioners sugar until smooth, forming the mixture into one-inch balls. These balls are chilled until firm, which helps maintain shape during dipping. Once chilled, they are coated in melted white chocolate candy coating and set aside to harden. The process produces a creamy, sweet interior with a crisp outer shell from the candy coating.
The snowballs require no baking, making them convenient and low-effort. The mixture can be shaped evenly using hands or a small scoop to achieve consistent size. Dipping with a skewer and fork allows complete coverage with minimal mess.
These snowballs are suitable as festive treats or everyday sweet snacks. They pair well with tea or coffee and can be arranged on dessert trays for gatherings.
Chilling before dipping is important to prevent melting or breaking apart during coating. Using white chocolate candy coating allows for smooth melting and sturdy hardening. Leftovers should be stored in a cool place to maintain texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup confectioners sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3 Tablespoons butter softened
- 1 pound white chocolate candy coating

Notes
- Chill peanut butter balls before dipping to help maintain shape and prevent melting.
