Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 stick Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Yellow frosting
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix the ingredients until fully combined and smooth, forming a dough-like consistency.
Roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, or until firm.
While the peanut butter balls chill, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth.
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, covering the bottom two-thirds while leaving the top exposed.
Return the dipped balls to the wax paper-lined sheet and let them set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens.
Once the chocolate is firm, use a small piping bag or a spoon to add a dollop of yellow frosting on top of the exposed peanut butter section, mimicking the appearance of a flower center.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
