Troubleshooting
Problem encountered when the center of the peanut butter cannot maintain its shape? If the peanut butter centers do not fit together well, please use the following tips for help.
- Too dry: If you can see that the mixture is too dry and crisp to stick together, try adding peanut butter 1 tablespoon at a time until it maintains its shape.
- Too wet: If you think the mixture is too wet, try adding 1 tablespoon of powdered sugar at a time until it maintains its shape.
- peanut butter: Natural and “normal” peanut butters have different consistency. Since this recipe is designed around the use of “regular” peanut butter, it may not be suitable for natural peanut butter if other ingredients are not adjusted. If you successfully use natural peanut butter, please tell us in the comments what brand you use and whether you have to make other recipe adjustments.
Recipe reminder and storage
Recipe tips: For these PB balls, please remember these tips…
- Peanut Butter: Since peanut butter is used as a binder in the recipe, I will avoid using natural peanut butter and stick to ordinary butters such as Jif or Skippy
- Make them even: To make each ball the same size, I only used a cookie scoop.
- Freeze the peanut butter balls before soaking them. This will help them maintain their shape and the candy coating will harden faster.
