Schweddy Balls Recipe

This Schweddy Balls Recipe is the kind of recipe that really confused me before I made it. I found so many versions online, but each one was different from the other, so I decided to make it in my own style.

I found bloggers who made the recipe with a salty style, and some even used meat and made them like meatballs. But my Schweddy Balls Recipe is a dessert, based on vanilla and peanut butter flavors. As I used vanilla wafer cookies with peanut butter, and I also added some chocolate chips. I made them similar to Peanut Cornflake Candy.

We were all inspired to make Schweddy Balls from the Saturday Night Live show, but since we’re making it at home, everyone adds their own touch and style. That’s what I did too, and believe me, the taste was so awesome, especially with that great creamy filling inside.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups crushed vanilla wafer cookies (about 1 box)
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ cup crushed graham crackers
  • ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)

How to Make Schweddy Balls?

Step 1:

First, crush the cookies and crackers into tiny crumbs. Put the crumbs in a big bowl. Add peanut butter, sugar, coconut (if using), vanilla, and salt. Mix it all up until it sticks together.

Step 2:

Scoop out a little dough with a spoon. Roll it into a ball with your hands. Put the balls on a tray with paper.
