Recipe Tips

To make it easier to form the peanut butter balls, you can chill the mixture in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before shaping. You can also use a cookie scoop to make the balls uniform in size. To avoid the mixture sticking to your hands, wet your hands with water before shaping. Finally, you can drizzle melted chocolate on top of the balls for added sweetness and presentation. Enjoy!
