Notes
We get 32-36 balls.
**Update - we just made these using Jif extra crunchy peanut butter and for some reason they wouldn't stay together. I noticed the chunks of peanuts were larger than we are normally used to. To fix the issue we added a 1/4 cup + a couple of tablespoons of creamy peanut butter and were able to form the balls.
Some nut butters may be drier than others and you may have to add additional nut butter if the balls won't stay together while you are trying to shape them.
Nutritional information is for 32 peanut butter balls and is approximate.
