Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 8 ounces white chocolate bark or white chocolate bar or chips
- Holiday sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Mix the base: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Use a mixer or spoon until everything’s smooth and creamy.
Tip: Scrape the sides of the bowl to make sure no peanut butter gets left behind. - Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs until the mixture comes together. It’ll feel like a slightly sticky dough.
Been there, done that: Once, I didn’t mix the powdered sugar enough, and some bites were extra sweet. Lesson learned—stir well! - Form the snowballs: Scoop out 1-tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
Shortcut: If you’re in a hurry, pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes instead. - Melt the white chocolate: Microwave the white chocolate bark in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and glossy. This prevents scorching.
- Dip and decorate: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted white chocolate. Let the excess drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet. Drizzle extra white chocolate on top and sprinkle with festive decorations if desired.
- Chill to set: Place the decorated snowballs back in the fridge for at least 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
Serving and presentation ideas
For a festive look, arrange these snowballs on a holiday-themed platter or a rustic wooden board. A dusting of powdered sugar on the platter gives a snowy vibe. Serve them alongside hot cocoa, coffee, or tea for a cozy winter treat. If you’re gifting these, pop them into a decorative tin or cellophane bags tied with ribbon.
