These no-bake peanut butter balls are a quick and easy 3-ingredient dessert that comes together in minutes. Creamy, sweet, and with a hint of crunch, they’re perfect for last-minute cravings or parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (250g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g), sifted if lumpy
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (100g)

Instructions

  1. Measure out 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and powdered sugar. Stir together with a spatula or spoon until mostly combined and crumbly.
  3. Add the graham cracker crumbs and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and hold together when pressed. If too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons more peanut butter; if too sticky, add a sprinkle more crumbs.
  4. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion out the dough. Roll each scoop between your palms to form a ball about 1 inch in diameter.
  5. Set each ball on a lined baking sheet or plate.
  6. Optional: Chill the peanut butter balls in the fridge for 10-15 minutes for firmer texture.
  7. Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use creamy peanut butter. If using natural peanut butter, stir well to avoid excess oil. To make gluten-free, substitute graham cracker crumbs with gluten-free graham crackers or almond meal. For extra flair, roll balls in melted chocolate, coconut, sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
