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.
