Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Gradually fold in the powdered sugar, stirring thoroughly until the dough-like mixture forms and holds together.
  2. Shape the Balls: With clean hands, roll the peanut butter mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about one inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the semisweet chocolate chips with a tablespoon of vegetable or coconut oil. Stir frequently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  4. Dip the Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each chilled peanut butter ball in the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined sheet.
  5. Set and Serve: Place the chocolate-coated balls back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens. Once set, they’re ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

  • Chill thoroughly to maintain shape and prevent melting while dipping.
  • Use good quality chocolate for a smooth and tasting coating.
  • Adjust powdered sugar amount to control sweetness.
  • Work quickly when dipping as melted chocolate hardens fast.
  • Store refrigerated to maintain texture and prevent melting.
