Natural Peanut Butter Snowballs
We obviously love holidays and everything that comes with them. And there’s arguably no holiday bigger than Christmas. The gifts, the traditions, the indulgent treats – the insanity they all bring – makes us so happy! One of the best parts of the holiday to-do list is baking. It’s something we love to do all together, including the kids. We so fondly remember getting in the kitchen and ‘helping’ mom and now we’re creating those same memories for our little ones.

There are so many tried and true recipes that are an annual must make. But every year we try a couple new recipes and this year we picked Natural Peanut Butter Snowballs to try out. In our homes we use natural peanut butter, so we used that to make these treats – and it worked perfectly – which gave us the natural title. They could really be considered more of a candy than baking really, but that doesn’t make them any less fun or tasty! The result? Amazing! A contender to be added to the yearly bake list.
What you’ll need:
- Powered sugar
- All natural peanut butter (we used one that has honey mixed in which worked perfectly!)
- Butter, melted
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Honey
- Salt
- White chocolate or dark chocolate, melted
- Grapeseed oil
- Sprinkles
- Parchment or wax paper
- Mixer
Natural Peanut Butter Snowballs

Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.


In a mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, natural peanut butter, melted butter graham crackers crumbs, honey, and salt. Mix until smooth and thoroughly combined.


Use a tablespoon and your hands to form the dough into balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.



In a medium bowl, mix together melted chocolate and oil, stirring until smooth.

Working fairly quickly, use two forks to dip the peanut butter balls in the chocolate, turning until fully covered. Drip excess back into the bowl and then transfer back onto the baking sheet.

Top with sprinkles as you go. Decorating as you work will allow for the sprinkles to stick to the chocolate before it begins to harden.


Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
