Expert Tips

Expert Tip: Make sure to keep the heat low and stir the almond bark often while it is melting. If the temperature is too high or you forget to stir it, it may scorch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you keep peanut butter balls from sticking to your hands?

If you find that the mixture is sticking to your hands, try dusting your hands lightly in powdered sugar. That will prevent the peanut butter crispy balls from sticking to your hands while you roll them.

Can I use chocolate instead of almond bark?

Yes, you can use any type of chocolate that you prefer. I like white or milk chocolate for these balls. But, semi-sweet or dark would also work.

Do I need to temper the chocolate?

For this recipe, you do not need to temper the chocolate since you are adding marshmallows to the chocolate.

Variations

Do you want to change up this recipe? Here are some ways that you increase the flavor of this dish.

  • Add a little crunch to these no bake peanut butter balls with rice krispies by using crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy.
  • Give it some spice by adding a pinch of cinnamon to the melted marshmallow and peanut butter mixture for an extra kick of flavor.
  • Make it colorful by using colored candy melts instead of almond bark.
  • If you are a fan of coconut you could also add ½ cup of sweetened coconut flakes to these no bake peanut butter balls.
