📌 Tips for Perfect Chocolate Peanut Butter Snowballs
-
Do not use natural peanut butter — it separates and makes the dough too soft.
-
If the filling is sticky, add more powdered sugar.
-
If the filling cracks, it is too dry—add a teaspoon of melted butter.
-
Freeze the peanut butter balls before dipping for smooth coating.
-
Work quickly: melted chocolate starts to firm up as you dip multiple balls.
