Dairy Free Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
These little no-bake treats are everything you want in a bite-sized dessert — creamy, rich, and coated in a snappy chocolate shell that cracks when you bite through it. The filling comes together with creamy peanut butter, dairy free butter, vanilla, and sifted powdered sugar, rolled into smooth one-inch balls that are firm enough to dip without falling apart. A tablespoon of coconut oil stirred into the melted dairy free chocolate chips gives the coating that glossy, professional finish you'd expect from a candy shop. Skipping dairy doesn't mean skipping indulgence here — every ingredient is doing real work, and the result tastes completely decadent. An optional pinch of flaky sea salt on top takes the whole thing to another level, balancing the sweetness in the best possible way. The batch makes 24, so they're perfect for holiday trays, parties, or just keeping a stash in the fridge for whenever the craving hits. They store beautifully cold, which means you can make them ahead and have something genuinely impressive ready to go with zero last-minute stress.

In a large mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, softened dairy free butter, vanilla extract, and fine salt until smooth and combined. Add the sifted powdered sugar in two additions, stirring after each, until a firm, non-sticky dough forms. If the mixture feels too soft to roll, add powdered sugar 1 tbsp at a time until it holds its shape.
