Nut Butter Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter until well mixed.
• Shape peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls, placing them on a baking sheet covered with waxed paper.
• Let balls stand for 20 minutes until dry.
• Melt the dipping chocolate or confectioners' coating.
• Drop balls one at a time in melted chocolate.
• Using a fork, remove from the chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off.
• Place back on the waxed paper.
• Let stand until dry.
• Store tightly covered in a cool dry place.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl knead peanut butter, margarine, vanilla and sugar, with your hands, until smooth dough is formed.
• Shape into half-inch balls, place on tray lined with wax paper and freeze for at least one hour.
• Melt chocolate in the microwave.
• Use 20-second zaps and mix in between each zap until smooth.
• Insert a toothpick into each peanut butter ball and dip ball into melted chocolate.
• Return to wax paper and refreeze.
• Store in airtight container and serve from frozen.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream the butter and peanut butter with a mixer.
• Once it's blended well, slowly add the powdered sugar. Usually, after the second cup, I'll check it every few times to make sure the mixture isn't too dry.
• Once you've added all the sugar, it should be a nice soft consistency, not sticky and easy to roll but not dry to where it crumbles. If you put all the sugar in and it's still to sticky to roll, try putting in more a little at a time until it gets to a good rolling consistency.
• Roll dough into balls. The size depends on how big or little you would like them.
• Lay the balls on the wax paper in a row and then put in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
• To a medium size pot, add about 2-3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower to a simmer and place a metal or glass bowl on top, making sure the bottom doesn't touch the water.
• Add chocolate to the metal/glass bowl. Add wax and mix until it and the chocolate are both melted and a smooth consistancy.
• Once the chocolate is melted, take out the peanut butter balls and set them beside your pot of chocolate. Drop in one or two of the balls into the chocolate and then scoop them out with a fork or spoon. Set them on another cookie sheet or pan lined with wax paper.
• Once your finished, set them back in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes or until hard. They're ready to be served or stored in a decorative tin.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the cake flour, then fold in the pecans. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 15 to 19 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool cookies completely before rolling in additional confectioners' sugar. If you are storing the cookies in a tin, add remaining sugar to the tin.

Steps:

• Thoroughly mix the first three ingredients.
• Add the oats and coconut plus anything additional and stir to coat.
• Form into a 1 inch round cylinder using wax paper.
• Chill for about 30 minutes or longer and cut and roll into golf ball sized or smaller pieces.
• Roll each ball in a dish of sesame seeds (whole or ground) to coat.

Steps:

• Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet or tray. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.
• Holding with two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Tap off excess chocolate. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Refrigerate extra balls in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Combine oats, peanut butter, crushed walnuts, chocolate chips, and honey in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until well combined, adding more honey if the mixture is not holding together.
• Form 24 balls with a cookie scoop and place on a cookie sheet. Refrigerate until firm, 30 to 60 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a medium bowl, cream the butter, sugar and egg yolks until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla, then the flour, and finally the walnuts.
• Roll dough into walnut sized balls, place them 2 inches apart on an unprepared cookie sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. Cookies should be slightly brown. Cool and roll cookies in confectioners sugar.

Steps:

• Beat butter on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar, beat until fluffy. Add flour, and beat at low speed until well blended, stir in pecans.
• Shape into one inch balls. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) on an ungreased cookie sheet for 20 minutes. Remove and put on wire rack to cool. Roll in confectioners' sugar when cool.

Steps:

• Grind walnuts very fine. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla.
• Add flour and nuts alternately. You may have to mix by using your hands to really get it all mixed together well.
• Roll into small balls, approximately 1-inch.
• Place on cookie sheet, ungreased. You can usually fit a lot of cookies on the cookie sheet because they do not spread that much.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, have a bowl of powdered sugar ready for when the cookies come out of the oven.
• When cookies are brought out of the oven, allow to cool for maybe a minute until you can pick them up without breaking them. Roll in powdered sugar and place them on wax paper. Cool.
• I also like to roll them in powdered sugar a second time when they are completely cool.
