Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is smooth and holds together. You can use a wooden spoon or hand mixer for this step.
Portion the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch balls by rolling it in your hands. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm them up.
While the peanut butter balls chill, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Remove the chilled peanut butter balls from the fridge and use a fork or a toothpick to dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the balls for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your smooth and creamy peanut butter balls!
