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)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to firm them up.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Place the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 8

Refrigerate the balls for another 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature, and enjoy your smooth and creamy peanut butter balls!
