Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crunch Balls

Peanut Butter and Chocolate lovers need to pay attention to this recipe. It's super easy to make and are so addictive that you will not be able to eat just one.

This Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crunch Ball recipe comes courtesy of my mom. She used to make these all the time for my niece & nephew when they were young.

What’s funny is my wife goes absolutely nuts for anything chocolate with peanut butter, yet I’ve never made this family recipe for her. Go figure. I guess it’s time for me to treat her by making these peanut butter crunch balls for her.

This recipe is pretty straightforward to make but can get a little messy when you dip the crunch balls into the melted chocolate. Luckily I have this cool little dipping tool I got off of Amazon to make it a little easier to coat the crunch balls in chocolate.

If you are a peanut butter and chocolate lover, this is the ultimate recipe. It’s easy to make and will yield enough crunch balls to satisfy everyone at your next party. These would make a perfect dessert around the holidays, especially Christmas. But be warned, these crunch balls are super sweet!
