Description

Peanut Butter Monsters are delightful no-bake treats featuring a creamy peanut butter and marshmallow mixture coated in melted green candy melts, decorated with candy eyes and purple sprinkles to create fun, monster-inspired bites perfect for parties and festive occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 6 Tablespoons butter, softened
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup marshmallow cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Coating & Decoration

  • 1 bag green candy melts
  • 30 large candy eyes
  • purple sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, creamy peanut butter, marshmallow cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually beat in the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture until well combined and firm enough to shape.
  3. Shape the Balls: Roll the mixture into 30 even-sized balls and place them on a tray. Refrigerate for at least an hour to firm up.
  4. Melt Candy Coating: Melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions, ensuring a smooth, easy-to-dip consistency.
  5. Dip and Decorate: Using a toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted candy melts, then place it on parchment paper. Remove the toothpick and use it to cover the hole and drag across the coating to create a fur-like texture.
  6. Add Eyes and Sprinkles: Press a large candy eye at the front of each coated ball and sprinkle purple sprinkles on top to mimic monster features.
  7. Set and Serve: Allow the coated peanut butter monsters to set completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Dip the chilled peanut butter balls in batches—for convenience, remove about 10 balls at a time to dip in the melted candy melts.
  • Ensure peanut butter balls are fully chilled to prevent melting when dipped.
  • Use parchment paper to avoid sticking while the candy coating sets.
