Peanut Butter Snowballs

White chocolate peanut butter snowballs are one of those treats that no one expects when they taste it. These awesome treats combine graham crackers, peanut butter and powdered sugar together and then they are dipped in a melted white chocolate.

Once dipped, it is optional if you want to sprinkle Christmas sprinkles of some type onto the wet white chocolate.

This recipe is so simple and quick, these treats could be made in a very short amount of time. You could also mix it up and make some of these bites dipped in white chocolate and some in milk chocolate.

I realize they are called snowballs, however, some dirty snowballs always seem to make their way into playing, am I right?

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Can I leave the sprinkles off?

There is no rule that you have to put sprinkles on. These are optional.

            Could I use chunky peanut butter?

You could use either a smooth style or the chunky style. It is all a matter of what is preferred in your house.

            How do I store these snowballs?

As long as you have cooled these completely, they can be placed into an airtight container and then into the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

            Can I freeze these Snowballs?

Yes, however, I would do so before dipping them in the melted white chocolate.

            Could I use Almond bark instead of white chocolate?

You certainly could, it all depends on what you prefer the most.
