Ingredients
Scale
- 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)
Instructions
- Prepare the peanut butter mixture: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly blend the creamy peanut butter and softened butter until the mixture is smooth. Gently fold in powdered sugar to combine well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the mixture stiffens.
- Shape the mixture: Remove the chilled mixture from the refrigerator. Using clean hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until firm.
- Melt the chocolate: Prepare the semi-sweet chocolate chips by melting them according to the package directions, using a microwave or double boiler. Add a tablespoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to achieve a smoother consistency, if preferred.
- Dip the peanut butter balls: Using a fork, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off before transferring the balls onto wax paper for a clean finish.
- Finalize: Cover the chocolate-coated balls and refrigerate until the chocolate sets, making them ready to serve.
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
