Description
Skrewball Whiskey Balls are a delightful and decadent treat, combining the unique peanut butter and whiskey flavor of Skrewball Whiskey with a creamy, chocolatey coating and a crunchy cookie base. These no-bake balls are perfect for parties, holidays, or simply as a delicious indulgence.
Ingredients
- 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 10-12 cookies)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for extra crunch)
- 1 cup melted semi-sweet chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (for melting chocolate)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, softened cream cheese, Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey, and powdered sugar. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- If using, stir in the chopped peanuts.
- Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm. This will make them easier to coat.
- While the balls are freezing, melt the chocolate chips or candy melts. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Dip each frozen whiskey ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or a toothpick to help coat and lift the balls. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the coated whiskey balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating has set.
- Store Skrewball Whiskey Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- For a stronger peanut butter flavor, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter to the mixture.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cookies for the base, such as Oreos or chocolate chip cookies.
- You can drizzle extra melted chocolate over the balls for decoration once the initial coating has set.
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the mixture.
