Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter Choose high-quality, additive-free peanut butter
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter Use softened butter for creaminess
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Sift before use for smooth mixing
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Opt for pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch Salt Balances sweetness
For the Coating
  • 1½ cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Select high-quality chocolate for coating

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

  • Parchment paper
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter and softened unsalted butter. Beat until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until a moldable dough forms, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Portion out dough and roll into uniform 1-inch balls, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the balls.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate chips and microwave in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  6. Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coating, then place back on the baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
