Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix the ingredients together using a spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined and a soft dough forms.
Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
While the balls are chilling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy.
Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set. You can refrigerate them for 10-15 minutes for quicker setting.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the peanut butter balls to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Enjoy as a quick snack or decadent dessert!
