#### **Step 7: Let the Chocolate Set**
Once all the peanut butter balls are coated in chocolate, place the tray back in the refrigerator for about **30 minutes to 1 hour**. This will allow the chocolate to harden, leaving you with perfectly chilled and firm peanut butter balls.
#### **Step 8: Serve and Enjoy!**
After the chocolate has set, your **No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls** are ready to enjoy! They’re perfect for parties, snack time, or a sweet treat any time of day. If you’re feeling extra fancy, drizzle more melted chocolate over the top or sprinkle with crushed nuts or sea salt for a gourmet touch.
### **Tips for the Perfect No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls**
1. **Use Room Temperature Ingredients**: Make sure your **butter** is softened, not melted, to help with mixing the dough evenly.
2. **Chill the Balls Well**: Don’t skip the chilling step before dipping in chocolate. It helps the peanut butter balls hold their shape and makes the dipping process much easier.
3. **Customize the Coating**: If you’re looking to change things up, try rolling the balls in **crushed pretzels**, **coconut flakes**, or **chopped peanuts** for extra crunch and flavor.
4. **Make Them Vegan or Dairy-Free**: For a vegan or dairy-free version, simply swap the **butter** for a dairy-free alternative and use **dairy-free chocolate chips**.
5. **Storage Tips**: Store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about **1-2 weeks**—but we doubt they’ll last that long!
