Notes

  • Peanut butter. I use creamy peanut butter for this recipe, but chunky can be used if you prefer. I use Jif or Skippy brand. Natural peanut butter works too, but make sure to stir it well to incorporate the oils.

You can also roll the peanut butter balls in crushed nuts, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, or finely crushed cookies. Ensure to use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs if you want a gluten-free option.
