Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
Instructions
-
Prepare Peanut Butter Mixture:
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-combined. -
Add Powdered Sugar:
Gradually mix in the powdered sugar until fully incorporated into the peanut butter mixture. You may need to use your hands to make it easier to combine. -
Shape the Balls:
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. -
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips by microwaving them in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. -
Coat the Peanut Butter Balls:
Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift the balls out and tap off any excess chocolate. -
Chill:
Return the coated peanut butter balls to the baking sheet and refrigerate for about 1-2 hours or until the chocolate is set and firm.
Notes
- You can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate based on your preference.
- Store these peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a fun twist, roll the balls in sprinkles, crushed nuts, or drizzle extra chocolate on top before refrigerating.
