Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (optional, for coating)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until smooth and evenly combined.
Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the peanut butter balls.
While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a fork or skewer, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Optional: Roll or sprinkle the chocolate-coated balls with shredded coconut for a decorative touch.
Place the coated snowballs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and return them to the freezer for 10 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Serve the Chocolate Peanut Butter Snowballs chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
