These Peanut Butter Balls are a decadent, easy-to-make treat featuring a creamy, peanut butter filling coated in smooth, rich chocolate. Perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime you need a sweet snack, these treats are a timeless classic that everyone loves. I love making them because they’re simple, quick, and deliciously addictive!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (or vegetable oil, optional for a smoother coating)
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Peanut Butter Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
Step 2: Shape the Peanut Butter Balls
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and melted.
Step 4: Coat the Peanut Butter Balls
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it fully. Return each coated ball to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls for another 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. Serve these delicious treats chilled, and enjoy every creamy, chocolatey bite!
