These fun Halloween Monster Peanut Butter balls made with SKIPPY® Peanut Butter are the perfect treat for celebrating Halloween with kids!

I created these cute Halloween Monster Peanut Butter Balls as a part of a challenge from SKIPPY® Peanut Butter. I got a bit carried away when recipe testing though and came up with three different versions of my spooky Halloween treat, but I couldn't choose which was my favourite so I decided to share all three with you!
As well as these fun monster themed treats, I'm also sharing recipes for Peanut Butter Mummies and Peanut Butter Pumpkins here on the blog today.
These fun little Halloween treats are super easy to make, with no baking required, so they're great for making with the kids this Halloween. They're made with American-style SKIPPY® Peanut Butter which gives them an extra smooth and creamy texture.
We used green gel food colouring to create our fun spooky monsters, but you can use any colours you like (orange, purple, red or blue would look awesome!) or skip the colouring altogether if you want to leave them plain.
To see just how easy these yummy peanut butter balls are to make, check out my recipe video above (or click here if the video doesn't load for any reason). You'll also find the full recipe for the Monster Peanut Butter Balls below, and the other two versions here: Peanut Butter Pumpkins and Peanut Butter Mummies.
Monster Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients (makes 15):
- 60g butter
- 175g SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Smooth
- green gel food colouring
- 275g icing sugar
- large and small sized edible candy eyeballs
Method:
First heat the butter until just melted. You can do this in a small saucepan on the hob or in the microwave.
Measure the SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Smooth into a large bowl, then pour over the melted butter.
Whisk the two ingredients together until smooth and full combined. Add green gel food colouring and whisk again until the mixture is evenly coloured.
Add the icing sugar and whisk again until it is completely mixed in. Your mixture should resemble breadcrumbs at this point, so pull it together with clean hands to form a dough.
Line a small baking tray or plate with greaseproof or baking paper.
Break off pieces of the dough and roll into walnut-sized balls. Place them on the lined tray.
Push candy eyeballs into the top of each peanut butter ball. I created different monster faces by using different numbers and styles of candy eyeball on each monster, adding one - three eyes to each one.
Chill the peanut butter monsters in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
SKIPPY® Peanut Butter is now widely available in the UK and a great source of protein for growing kids! SKIPPY® Peanut Butter is available in both Extra Smooth and Extra Crunchy, both totally delicious!
