Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups peanut butter
- ½ cup butter softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 cups chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1½ cups peanut butter, ½ cup softened butter, and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Gradually add 4 cups powdered sugar, mixing a little at a time until completely incorporated and the mixture forms a soft dough.
- Cover and refrigerate the peanut butter mixture for 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the chilled mixture into 36 evenly sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for another 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Place 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir well, then continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Insert a toothpick into each peanut butter ball. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of the peanut butter filling exposed at the top.
- Place the dipped balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Carefully remove the toothpick and use your finger or a small spoon to smooth over the hole.
- Refrigerate the peanut butter balls until the chocolate is completely set.
- Store covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
