Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: For short-term storage, keep the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to a week.
Freezing for Longevity: If you want to extend their shelf life, these balls freeze exceptionally well. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze initially. Once they are solid, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw them in the refrigerator before serving.
Avoid Humidity and Heat: Keep them away from direct sunlight and any warm environment to prevent the chocolate from melting and the balls from becoming too soft.
Layer with Parchment Paper: When storing in containers, layer the balls with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. This is especially helpful if you’ve decorated them with toppings like sprinkles or crushed peanuts.
