CRISPY CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BALLS



Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Balls image

These are absolutely addictive! Sweet and salty with lots of crunch, and very easy to make. These should probably be stored in the fridge to keep from going soft or you could probably coat in an extra layer of chocolate if you wanted to go through the trouble.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)

  • In a double boiler or microwave (on 50 % power, in a large bowl) melt the chocolate and peanut butter. If microwaving, start with a minute and then add additional time (30 secs at a time, mixing in between) until melted. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  • Mix in the pretzels and rice cereal until everything is coated and well incorporated.
  • Drop by the teaspoonful onto a lined cookie sheet and place in the fridge. Once hardened, you can transfer to a bag or container. These are best stored in the fridge.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS



Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls image

I adopted this recipe from the RecipeZaar account. I have not had a chance to make this myself. If you are finding that your chocolate is going to hard, melt in a tbsp (or maybe even less) of shortening. That will make the chocolate stay soft. I got that trick from Recipe #89167.

Provided by Saturn

Categories     Candy

Time 2h5m

Yield 40 candies

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup creamy peanut butter
16 ounces semisweet chocolate or 16 ounces bittersweet chocolate

Steps:

  • In a bowl stir together the brown sugar, 1/2 stick of butter, the graham cracker crumbs, and the peanut butter until the mixture is smooth and chill the mixture, covered, for 1 hour, or until it is firm enough to form into balls.
  • Form teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls and transfer the balls as they are formed to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper- chill well or freeze until firm (makes dipping a lot easier).
  • In a metal bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water melt the chocolate, stirring until smooth, and let the chocolate cool.
  • Dip the balls into the chocolate mixture with a fork, coating them well and letting the excess drip off, transfer them as they are coated to the baking sheet, and chill them, covered loosely, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • (The balls may be double-dipped if desired.).

NO BAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED PEANUT BUTTER BALLS



No Bake Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls image

These are one of my family favorites.

Provided by LINDA BAILEY

Categories     Nuts

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

(1) 18oz jar(s) of smooth or chunky peanut buter - i prefer smooth
(1) 16oz bag(s) of confectioners sugar
1/4 c butter, melted
chocolate almond bark or
chocolate candy melts or
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, confectioners sugar and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. For the next step, the best way that I've found to make a smooth filling is to use your hands to mix everything together.
  • 2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Roll the peanut butter filling into 1 inch balls and line the baking sheet with rows of the balls. Set the baking sheet in the freezer for 5-7 minutes to chill the peanut butter balls for easier dipping.
  • 3. While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl that is deep enough for dipping. I melted 6 blocks of chocolate almond bark at a time, stirring at 45 second intervals until smooth.
  • 4. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into a peanut butter ball and then dip it into the chocolate, turning quickly to cover the entire candy.
  • 5. Place onto a second baking tray that has also been lined with foil. Swirl the chocolate on the top of each candy for a pretty design. Refrigerate until the chocolate had completely dried. Store the candies in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BALLS



CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER PRETZEL BALLS image

Categories     Chocolate     Dessert     Freeze/Chill

Yield 22 balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 C pretzels
1/2 C creamy peanut butter
1 Tbsp butter, softened
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1/8 tsp salt
3 Tbsp powdered sugar
1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Crush pretzels into small bits. (I tried this first by bashing the pretzels in a baggie. Then I tried chopping them in a food processor. The results were mostly the same, though I felt I had more control with the baggie method.) In a small bowl, combine peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and salt. Stir until all ingredients are completely blended and smooth. Add pretzel bits to peanut butter mixture and mix thoroughly. Add powdered sugar and, again, mix thoroughly. Prepare a chilling tray--a dinner plate covered with waxed paper works well. Take about a teaspoon of the peanut butter pretzel mixture into your fingers and gently pat it into a ball with your fingertips. If the peanut butter starts sticking to your fingers, your fingers are too warm. Run your fingers under cold water for a minute to chill them, and begin rolling again. Place the peanut butter balls onto the plate. When you have rolled all the balls, place the entire plate into the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. After the peanut butter balls have chilled, prepare your chocolate. Pour the chocolate chips into a small microwaveable bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds and stir. If needed, microwave for another 10 seconds and stir again. Continue until the chips are completely melted, which means they stir easily into smooth, fluid chocolate with no lumps. Place one peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate and gently roll it around with a fork until completely coated. Remove from the bowl with the fork and place back on the waxed paper plate. Repeat for all other balls. Once all the peanut butter balls are coated in chocolate, return the plate to the refrigerator and chill another 30 minutes.

Tips for Making Perfect Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls:

  • Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your balls a smooth and velvety texture. If you use chunky peanut butter, the balls will be more crumbly.
  • Chill the peanut butter mixture before rolling: Chilling the peanut butter mixture will make it easier to roll into balls. You can also freeze the mixture for 30 minutes to make it even easier to work with.
  • Use a melon baller to scoop the peanut butter mixture: A melon baller is the perfect tool for scooping the peanut butter mixture. It will help you create evenly sized balls.
  • Roll the balls in cocoa powder or chopped nuts: Coating the balls in cocoa powder or chopped nuts will give them a delicious and festive look. You can also use a mixture of cocoa powder and chopped nuts.
  • Chill the balls before serving: Chilling the balls before serving will help them hold their shape. You can store the balls in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chocolate peanut butter balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover peanut butter. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious and festive treats that everyone will love.
