Ingredients
  

For the Peanut Butter Mixture
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter the star ingredient, giving these balls their rich flavor and smooth texture.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter ensures your mixture stays creamy and adds richness.
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sweetens the mixture while helping to bind everything together.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the flavor and adds a comforting aroma.
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips provides a luscious chocolate coating that complements the peanut butter perfectly.
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil adds a silky finish to the chocolate, making it easier to coat the balls.

Equipment

  • large bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

Directions
  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter until smooth and well-blended.
  2. Gradually add in 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir until everything is fully incorporated and a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
  3. Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments.
  5. Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, coating fully. Lift them out with a fork and place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
  6. Put the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls back in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has set completely.
