I love just about anything with peanut butter.
These balls are so easy to make and did I mention they are no bake?
They take only a few minutes to throw together and they taste amazing. They would be perfect for a neighbor gifts or just to snack on.
We bring these to family parties all year long, and they are a crowd favorite. Everyone is always asking for the recipe.
I am almost embarrassed to give it, because they only require a few simple ingredients, and don’t take much time to make at all.
You are going to love how simple and delicious these are.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
Yum–and I love all the different “sprinkles” on them!
Cute idea with the sprinkles. We always dip our peanut butter balls in chocolate and make them look like buckeyes!
These look great! Love all the festive colors 🙂
OK to leave the coconut out? or substitute something for it?
we don’t care for coconut
Cyndy I was wondering the same thing. Not a coconut fan at all. Maybe substitute Rice Krispies?
These look wonderful. They would make a great hostess gift. I have pinned this post.
Quick question. I am not a fan of peanut butter in any form, although I do make things for my grandsons. Is there any recipes for things like the no bake balls without peanut butter? I love coconut, nuts, oatmeal, cereal, etc. so any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I was wondering about the oatmeal- do you actually make oatmeal or just used the dried oats?
Google Oreo truffles. You use crushed its, cream cheese, roll them in melted chocolate. So yum!
Just add in the dry oats.
I left a list of other yummy recipe alternatives. Hope the list helps. They are all delicious!
Where’s the list of coconut alternatives? I searched the page and didn’t see them! Thanks! I can’t wait to try these 🙂
Did I miss the list of coconut alternatives? I am so excited to make these too!
How many balls does this recipe make? I couldn’t find that listed from my phone.
Love the idea!
I love coconut but if you didn’t crushed pecans should work.
How many balls does this make because the recipe calls for 8 ounces of peanut butter and that is a small amount of peanut butter so it doesnt seem like it is going to make much.
Looks delicious! But you have the wrong image in your summary. . . .
Makes about 36 peanut butter balls.
Thanks! Can’t wait to try them.
Is the coconut sweetened or non-sweetened?
Sorry… could you make a “correction” to recipe — directions say, chill in fridge 30 minutes BUT in video you said 2 hours — which is it?
Thx… 🙂
Hi Cindy and Lori,
I make these every year with rice krispies (not coconut) and they are a HUGE hit! This is the first recipe I’ve seen with coconut. I’m sure it would be tasty but my family reeeally enjoy the rice krispies!
We used sweetened.
If someone you know is allergic to peanuts, you can make these with almond butter, yum!
I think it would be fine if it is the same consistency as peanut butter.
Should I use quick oats?
Quick oats work too. Either old fashioned or quick oats work.
This is a wonderful recipe and love that there is both oatmeal and coconut in it my family loves both. I really wanted to make some peanut butter balls and do the buckeye thing with them and was looking for new recipes and stumbled across this one and it is perfect. Thanks for sharing it 😉
you have some great recipes but it takes forever to load any recipes i have been here since 11:30 trying to get the peanut butter ball recipe i am exausted pages jump and take soooooo long and then bounce around and the vidio does not have sound .
the long hair and brushing of the hair while baking is distractive to the video, i say this cause it is all i can get on the video to look at can’t hear sound .
i am not a complainer but i get upset when i want a recipe and it takes 3 hrs to print it and i have to cut and paste it if i can get it to stay still
thanks for listening hope it can be fixed
I don’t like coconut either. Glad I can substitute something for it.
I too am having trouble printing this.
Just click on “Print Recipe” right about the ingredients needed for the recipe.
These are my favorite! I make them every Christmas now. I have even made them with almond butter and they are just as delicious!
