No-Bake High-Protein Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls — Easy, Sweet & Satisfying (Only 6 Ingredients!)

Step 3: Incorporate the Dry Ingredients

Add rolled oats and cocoa powder to the mixture. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly combined. At this point, the mixture should be slightly sticky but firm enough to roll into balls. If it feels too dry, add a teaspoon of water or milk; if too wet, add a few more oats.

Step 4: Form the Balls

Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into bite-sized balls, roughly 1–1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For a uniform look, try to keep the balls the same size.

Step 5: Optional Add-Ons

If desired, roll the balls in mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts, or extra cocoa powder for a decorative and flavorful touch. This is also a great way to add a bit of crunch.

Step 6: Chill and Set

Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This step helps the flavors meld together and makes them easier to handle. Once chilled, they’re ready to enjoy!
