Can I use natural peanut butter for this recipe?

While you can use natural peanut butter, I recommend sticking to creamy peanut butter without added oils. This ensures a smoother texture and better consistency for your Peanut Butter Balls.

How long do Peanut Butter Balls last?

These treats can last up to a week at room temperature or even longer in the refrigerator. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh and delicious!

Can I freeze Peanut Butter Balls?

Absolutely! You can freeze them for up to three months. Just make sure to layer them with parchment paper in an airtight container to prevent sticking. Thaw them in the fridge before enjoying!

What can I use instead of chocolate bark?

If you prefer, you can use chocolate chips or melting chocolate. Just remember to adjust the melting method slightly, as chocolate chips may require a bit more care to avoid burning.

Are there any nut-free alternatives?

Yes! You can substitute peanut butter with sun butter or soy nut butter for a nut-free version. Just keep in mind that the flavor will vary slightly, but they’ll still be delicious!
