Easy Eagle Brand Dessert
A quick, no-bake peanut butter treat with a creamy center and crunchy graham cracker coating, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings and easy to prepare for any occasion.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, and Eagle Brand milk together.
- Roll the mixture into small balls.
- Roll the balls in crushed graham crackers.
- Chill before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier consistency, consider using a natural peanut butter that has no added sugars. If you prefer, substitute the powdered sugar with a sugar alternative like stevia or monk fruit sweetener. Crushing the graham crackers can be done in a food processor for a finer texture, which helps coat the balls more evenly. To enhance flavors, add a pinch of salt or a splash of vanilla extract.
Serving Suggestions
These peanut butter balls make a delightful no-bake dessert for parties or gatherings. They pair beautifully with a cup of coffee or hot chocolate, and for an extra treat, serve them alongside a slice of Cream Cheese Lemon Pie for a refreshing contrast. Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers on top for an appealing presentation.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you want to make these ahead of time, they can also be frozen. Just layer them between parchment paper in a freezer-safe container and thaw in the fridge before serving. Avoid reheating, as they are best enjoyed cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of nut butter?
Yes, you can substitute peanut butter with almond butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind that the taste and texture may vary slightly. Ensure that the nut butter is creamy to achieve the right consistency for rolling the balls.
How do I prevent the mixture from being too sticky?
If the mixture feels too sticky to roll into balls, chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm it up and make it easier to handle. You can also lightly coat your hands with powdered sugar to help prevent sticking while rolling.
Can I add toppings or other ingredients?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit for added texture and flavor. Drizzling melted chocolate over the finished balls can also enhance their appeal, creating a delicious treat that resembles Gibbons Candy.
