Ingredients
Scale
- For the Peanut Butter Mixture:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- For the Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until a dough-like consistency forms.
- 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 chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Using a fork or a skewer, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated.
- Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For added texture, sprinkle the coated balls with crushed peanuts or sea salt before the chocolate sets.
- You can substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for peanut butter for a nut-free alternative.
