No Bake Honey Peanut Butter Balls: {Gluten & Dairy Free}
Holy Moly YUM!!!! Don’t these look amazing! They taste even better!! Creamy peanut butter inside with a slight crunchiness and chocolate shell outside!
The very best part??? NO BAKING REQUIRED!!!
Of course if you’d rather leave them just rolled in crushed peanuts without the chocolate that is perfectly fine too and still perfectly delicious!
Yes an indulgent recipe for the the holidays but still healthier than the rest out there! Sweetened with honey inside and no sugar added peanut butter and coated in homemade sugar free chocolate sauce, doesn’t get better than this my friends!
Have you missed my other no bake yummies? Here they are:
- No Bake Chocolate Coconut Balls
- Three Ingredient Chocolate Bark
- Low Sugar Chocolate Bark
- Chocolate Hardening Sauce, (aka magic shell)
Brenda’s Notes:
- For a sugar free version you can replace the honey with erythritol, I used Swerve!

Can you use a different sweetener other than stevia?
there is no stevia in this recipe.
I am looking for a recipe to make for a party. My best friend has diabetes. Would this be okay for her? I thought honey has a lot of sugar?? Help??!?!?!
Thanks,
Rebekah
You should probably look at my low carb recipes instead as this may be too high in carbs for her.
Could I use stevia instead of the honey?
I’m thinking they won’t hold as the honey is needed since they are no bake.
Could I use natural P.B. instead?
of course but if it contains sugar they will be super sweet with the honey on there.
LOVE!
my 2 fave things! choc AND pb!
thank you!
The Chocolate Sauce link goes to Chocolate Bark ? Wondering if that is an error?
No just use that recipe for chocolate bark and don’t add the cranberries and sunflower seeds, you will only need half that recipe.
For the chocolate sauce I melted 1 pkg of ENJOY LIFE brand chocolate chips, it worked great for 1 batch of honey pb. balls
So yummy my family loved them!
