Description

These no-bake Voodoo Balls are a delightful and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any occasion. Made with creamy peanut butter, cocoa, and graham cracker crumbs, then dipped in melted chocolate and decorated with candy eyes and sprinkles, they’re easy to prepare and utterly delicious.


Ingredients

Scale

Voodoo Balls Mixture

  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder

Chocolate Coating

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)

Decoration

  • Sprinkles (for extra decoration)
  • Candy eyes (for a spooky touch)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Voodoo Balls Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
  2. Mix the ingredients: Stir the mixture until well combined and smooth. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more peanut butter to bring it together.
  3. Shape the Voodoo Balls: Using your hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
  4. Place on baking sheet: Arrange the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely smooth and melted.
  6. Coat the Voodoo Balls: Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
  7. Place coated balls: Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Chill and Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30-60 minutes until the chocolate coating is fully set and hardened.
  9. Decorate (optional): Add candy eyes or sprinkles on the set chocolate for a spooky decoration.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled and enjoy these delicious, no-bake Voodoo Balls!

Notes

  • If the mixture is too crumbly, add a small spoon of peanut butter until it holds shape well.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark or milk chocolate based on preference.
  • Store the Voodoo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
  • These treats are gluten-free if using certified gluten-free graham cracker crumbs.
