Peanut Butter Chocolate Snowballs
These easy no-bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Snowballs are a fun and healthy treat for anyone to enjoy! Make them for every day eating or for special occasions to share with friends and family.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 1/3 cup raw cacao powder
- 10 large pitted medjool dates 6.5 oz, 186g*
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract optional
- 1/2 tsp sea salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon optional
- 2 to 3 Tbsp milk of choice**
For Rolling:
- 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Transfer the oats to a food processor and process until a flour forms.
- Add the rest of the ingredients for the balls to the food processor and process until a thick and sticky dough forms. If need be, stop the food processor to scrape the sides several times to help it along.
- Once all of the ingredients are combined, if the dough doesn’t press together easily, add 2 to 4 tablespoons of milk (you can use regular milk, oat milk, almond milk, etc.) and process again until you’re able to form balls easily out of the mixture.
- Roll the snowball dough into 20 to 26 balls, creating whatever sizes you like. If you have a small cookie scoop, use it to make perfect 1-inch balls.
- If desired, roll the balls in unsweetened shredded coconut (you will need to gently press the balls into the coconut to get it to stick) or roll balls in more cocoa powder.
- Store balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days, or store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
*If you use pitted deglet noor dates, you will need 20 to 24 dates, as they are much smaller then medjool dates. For the best results, use a kitchen scale to weigh the dates so you know you’re using the right amount. The stickiness and sweetness of the dates is important to the success of the recipe :)
**Add the milk only if necessary if the chocolate peanut butter mixture isn’t sticky enough to work with. You can use regular milk or a non-dairy milk of choice like almond milk, oat milk or coconut milk.
