Tips for the Best Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

✔ Get the right consistency – The dough should be thick enough to hold its shape but not crumbly. If it’s too dry, add applesauce 1 teaspoon at a time. If it’s too sticky, add more powdered peanut butter.
✔ Use a fork or toothpick – Drop each ball into the chocolate, then use a fork to lift it out. Tap gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate for a smooth, professional finish.
✔ Let chocolate fully set – Be patient and let the chocolate harden completely before stacking or storing. This prevents smudging and keeps them looking beautiful.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls (3 Ingredients!)

Easy 3-ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls made with powdered peanut butter and applesauce. Healthy, no-bake treats ready in minutes.

Servings: 10 units

Author: Rachel

Equipment

• Parchment paper

Ingredients

For the peanut butter balls:

• 1 cup powdered peanut butter like PB2 or PBFit
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

For the chocolate coating:

• 150g (5oz) dark chocolate
• 1 Teaspoon coconut oil optional, for smoother coating

Instructions

• In a medium bowl, mix together the powdered peanut butter and unsweetened applesauce until well combined. The mixture should form a thick dough. Start with a spoon, then use your hands; it will come together (just a little patience).
• Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. You should get 10-12 balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
• Melt your chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. You can also use a double boiler. Stir in coconut oil if using until fully combined and smooth.
• Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
• Place in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes until the chocolate has completely hardened.
• Once the chocolate has set, your balls are ready to eat! Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
