Peanut Butter Whiskey Balls

Peanut Butter Whiskey Balls combine creamy peanut butter with peanut butter whiskey and a mix of sugars and graham cracker crumbs to form dense, rich bite-sized treats coated partially in melted milk chocolate. The firm texture and balance of salty, sweet, and nutty flavors make them enjoyable as handheld sweets.

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the butter and peanut butter to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add in the whiskey, vanilla extract, salt, powdered sugar, light brown sugar, and graham cracker crumbs. Beat on low until the powdered sugar is mostly worked into the dough, turn the mixer to medium to finish incorporating all of the ingredients. The dough will be thick.
  3. Once incorporated, use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop and scoop and roll in your hands until a smooth ball forms.
  4. Place the peanut butter balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and work on the remaining balls.
  5. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Add the melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals and stir after interval until the chocolate is completely melted.
  7. Stick a toothpick in the top of the peanut butter ball and dip it into the chocolate. I leave the top uncovered like a buckeye.
  8. Tap off any excess chocolate by gently tapping the wrist that’s holding the toothpick.
  9. Place the whiskey ball back on the parchment paper.
  10. Place in airtight container and store in the fridge.

Notes

  • If peanut butter balls slide off toothpicks during dipping, chill them again for 20-30 minutes to firm up before continuing.
