Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Mixture
1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar
Pinch of salt (optional)
For the Chocolate Coating
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
Prepare the Base Mixture
In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Add the Sugar
Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar until a thick dough forms. If too soft, add a bit more powdered sugar.
Roll into Balls
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of dough, roll into smooth balls, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
Chill
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up the mixture.
Melt the Chocolate
Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy.
Dip the Balls
Coat each ball in melted chocolate using a fork. Let excess drip off and return to the tray.
Set and Serve
Chill again for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets. Enjoy!
Variation
Crunchy Peanut Butter Balls
Mix in crushed pretzels, chopped nuts, or cereal to add texture and a salty-sweet balance.
White Chocolate-Coated Balls
Swap the semi-sweet chocolate for white chocolate for a sweeter, softer flavor profile.
Holiday Version
Add festive sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets great for Christmas, birthdays, or party trays.
Protein-Packed Balls
Replace ½ cup powdered sugar with ½ cup vanilla protein powder for a slightly healthier, balanced snack.
