These delicious peanut butter balls taste similar to the peanut butter cups we are all familiar with from our youth. Easy to make, and don't require any baking. They are a great recipe for the holidays or you can make them as a fun activity with kids. And they're gluten-free!

Roll mixture into balls of about 1 heaping tbsp each. Place on baking sheet lined with wax paper or parchment paper.
Insert toothpicks into each peanut butter ball and place in the freezer for 1 hour.

Hello Kathi. Sorry, but I haven’t tried making these with baking cocoa. If you find a good recipe for making these with baking cocoa, please share with us.

A similar recipe can be found in the book The Perfect Cookie by America’s Test Kitchen, page 330. Their recipe adds melted white chocolate chips to the peanut butter dough.
