Notes

For the best texture, use creamy peanut butter. Refrigerating the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes helps them hold their shape. Rolling the balls in powdered sugar adds a delightful sweetness and prevents them from sticking together. Feel free to customize the peanut butter bites by adding melted chocolate, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.
