Notes
How to Store:
Store these dessert balls in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well for longer enjoyment! How to Freeze:
After dipping the peanut butter balls, freeze them on a baking sheet for an hour before transferring to a container or bag. Flash-freezing prevents them from sticking together. Substitutions:
You can use semi-sweet chocolate chips (with a bit of shortening), almond bark, or candy melts instead of melting wafers. Chocolate Type:
Milk chocolate adds more sweetness; dark chocolate balances it out. Peanut Butter:
Avoid all-natural peanut butter as it can affect texture and structure.
