    If the mixture is too sticky to handle, you can chill it in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes before forming the balls.

    FAQ

    Why are my peanut balls so sticky?

    Your peanut butter balls might be sticky because there's too much moisture or not enough dry ingredients. Try adding oats or chilling the mixture before forming the balls to reduce stickiness.
