A suitable recipe to get the kids involved, these white chocolate peanut butter snowballs make an easy kitchen project to keep little hands busy. You need just four simple ingredients to create these luxury truffles, and no baking, blending or precision measuring is required.<\/p>\n
The resulting peanut butter balls in white chocolate are perfect as a holiday treat, especially if they’re decorated with seasonal sprinkles. You can offer them as a homemade food gift<\/a> too. After all, who could resist these nutty, creamy and wonderfully sweet snowballs? (Though they do contain peanuts, so label them clearly if you’re gifting them!)<\/p>\n In a bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter and softened butter. You can do this by hand with a fork. Then chill the mixture in the freezer for 30 minutes, until it has a workable texture.<\/p>\n Shape the filling into 1-inch balls and place them on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Freeze them for another 30 minutes, until firm.<\/p>\n Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> You can use cookie scoops, that versatile baking gadget<\/a>, to shape the snowballs.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, melt the candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop. Dip the snowballs, one by one, into the melted candy, then place them on waxed paper to harden. If desired, sprinkle them with chopped peanuts.<\/p>\n You can store these peanut butter balls in white chocolate at room temperature for a surprisingly long time\u2014up to five days. It\u2019s mainly peanut butter and sugar, after all. If you want to keep them cold, you can refrigerate them for 10 days before the sugars start to turn gritty.<\/p>\n The fats in the peanut butter and white chocolate freeze well, so you can freeze these snowballs in an airtight container for one to two months. They do tend to “sweat” when they return to room temperature, however, so roll them over a paper towel.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll find both white chocolate candy coating and almond bark in your local grocery store\u2019s baking section. Candy coating is made from palm oil or cocoa butter, sugar and milk solids, whereas almond bark uses sugar, shortening or vegetable oil, and almonds or nuts. They both work, but if you want to melt down regular chocolate (i.e., chocolate chips), you\u2019ll have to add a little shortening.<\/p>\n You can certainly use chunky peanut butter, if that\u2019s what you prefer. This recipe also works with almond butter, or Nutella for a chocolate and hazelnut flavor.<\/p>\n One of the potential texture problems you may encounter is snowballs that crumble and fall apart, in which case you need to use more peanut butter in the filling. Also watch for moisture sneaking into your candy coating mix. It will affect the texture, so make sure your bowl is completely dry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This recipe for peanut butter ball cookies is a nice change from the typical milk chocolate and peanut butter combination.
