Ingredients

• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter 🥜
• 3 tbsp salted butter, softened 🧈
• 1 cup powdered sugar 🍚
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
• 1 tbsp vegetable shortening or coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate) 🥥

Instructions

1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture: Combine the creamy peanut butter and softened butter in a mixing bowl. Gradually add the powdered sugar while stirring, until everything is fully combined. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to allow the mixture to firm up.
2. Shape the Balls: Once the mixture is firm, use your hands to shape it into 1-inch balls. Place these on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and refrigerate the balls for at least 20 minutes to ensure they maintain their shape when dipped in chocolate.
3. Melt the Chocolate: Follow the package instructions to melt the chocolate chips. If using, add the vegetable shortening or coconut oil to the chocolate to help achieve a smoother dipping consistency.
4. Dip the Balls in Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Transfer the chocolate-covered balls to wax paper. Cover and refrigerate until the chocolate sets and you’re ready to serve.
