Ingredients

  • 240 grams natural peanut butter
  • 180 grams powdered sugar
  • 60 ml honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 50 grams unsalted roasted peanuts (crushed)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth and slightly thickened dough.

Step 2

Lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking, then shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Each ball should be about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 3

Place the crushed roasted peanuts on a flat plate. Roll each peanut butter ball gently in the crushed peanuts until they are fully coated.

Step 4

Arrange the peanut butter candies on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate.

Step 5

Refrigerate the tray for at least 1 hour to allow the candies to firm up.

Step 6

Once firm, transfer the candies to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Step 7

Serve the candies chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy this sweet and nutty treat!
