- 180 grams powdered sugar
- 60 ml honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 50 grams unsalted roasted peanuts (crushed)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, honey, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a smooth and slightly thickened dough.
Step 2
Lightly grease your hands to prevent sticking, then shape the mixture into small, bite-sized balls. Each ball should be about 1 inch in diameter.

Place the crushed roasted peanuts on a flat plate. Roll each peanut butter ball gently in the crushed peanuts until they are fully coated.
Step 4
Arrange the peanut butter candies on a parchment-lined baking tray or plate.
Step 5
Refrigerate the tray for at least 1 hour to allow the candies to firm up.
Step 6
Once firm, transfer the candies to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Step 7
Serve the candies chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy this sweet and nutty treat!
