Ingredients

Here is what I use for this recipe and how each ingredient helps create the final result.

Creamy peanut butter: This forms the base of the treats and gives them richness and structure.
Powdered sugar: This sweetens the mixture and helps it hold its shape when rolled.
Vanilla extract: This adds warmth and depth to the peanut butter filling.
Butter: This smooths the mixture and adds a soft melt in the mouth texture.
White chocolate chips: These create the coating and give the treats a festive look.
Pink candy melts or sprinkles: These add a Valentine’s themed finish and visual contrast.

Tools You’ll Need

Mixing bowl: This is used to combine the peanut butter mixture evenly and smoothly.
Hand mixer or spoon: This helps fully blend the ingredients without lumps.
Baking sheet: This holds the rolled treats while they set.
Parchment paper: This prevents sticking and keeps cleanup easy.
Microwave safe bowl: This is used to melt the chocolate gently.
Toothpicks or forks: These help dip the treats cleanly into the chocolate coating.

Instructions

Step 1 Make the Peanut Butter Mixture

I start by adding peanut butter butter powdered sugar and vanilla extract into a mixing bowl. I mix until everything comes together into a smooth thick dough that is easy to handle and not sticky.

Step 2 Shape the Treats

I scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them between my palms until smooth and round. I place each ball onto a parchment lined baking sheet leaving space between them.

Step 3 Chill the Centers

I place the tray in the refrigerator so the peanut butter balls can firm up. This step helps them hold their shape when dipped into melted chocolate.

Step 4 Melt the Chocolate

I melt the white chocolate slowly using short intervals and stirring often. I make sure it is smooth and glossy before dipping.

Step 5 Coat and Decorate

I dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate then place it back on the parchment. I finish by drizzling with pink candy melts or adding sprinkles while the coating is still soft.

Tips

When I make these No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Valentine’s Treats I always chill the centers well because it makes dipping much easier. If the mixture feels too soft I add a little more powdered sugar. For a smoother coating I tap off excess chocolate before setting the treats down.

Ways to Serve

I love serving these treats on a decorative plate for Valentine’s gatherings or packaging them in small boxes as edible gifts. They pair well with coffee hot chocolate or tea and work nicely as part of a dessert board with fruit and cookies.

Storage Instructions

I store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh. They hold their texture well for several days and can be layered with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
