FAQ

Can I use natural peanut butter?
It’s best to use regular creamy peanut butter since natural varieties can separate and make the dough oily.

How do I prevent chocolate from cracking?
Freezing the balls too long before dipping can cause cracking. A quick 20–30 minutes is enough.

Can I use white chocolate instead?
Yes! White chocolate makes a fun and festive variation.
