4.8 from 72 reviews

Delicious homemade Reese’s Bombs featuring a creamy peanut butter filling coated in smooth semi-sweet chocolate, perfect for a sweet treat or party dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanut Butter Filling

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoothing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Form the Peanut Butter Balls: Using your hands, scoop small portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into about 1-inch diameter balls. Place these balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Chill the Peanut Butter Balls: Put the baking sheet with the peanut butter balls into the refrigerator and chill for approximately 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
  4. Melt the Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
  5. Coat the Peanut Butter Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Let excess chocolate drip off, then return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Set the Chocolate: Place the coated peanut butter balls back into the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate coating is fully set.
  7. Serve: Once set, serve the Reese’s Bombs chilled or at room temperature for a delightful treat.

Notes

  • For a smoother chocolate coating, coconut oil is optional but recommended.
  • You can store these candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use creamy peanut butter for the best texture.
  • Allow the chocolate to set completely to avoid melting while eating.
