Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Coconut oil or shortening
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or wooden spoon to mix until smooth and well combined.
Roll the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (or shortening) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 20-30 second increments, stirring after each increment, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate-coated balls to set at room temperature or refrigerate them for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
Once set, transfer the Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls to an airtight container. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for longer storage.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
