• 1 tsp. vegetable oil

How to Make Peanut Butter Balls

1. In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter until smooth. Add the peanut butter and mix well.

4. Roll this mixture into balls.
5. Freeze the peanut butter balls for 1 hour.
6. Remove from the freezer and add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a microwave safe bowl.
7. Heat on 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted.

9. If desired, drizzle any remaining chocolate over some of the balls.
10. Allow the peanut butter balls to chill for 2 hours, until the chocolate is set.

Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

2. Add a drizzle. Use leftover chocolate to make them look extra fancy.
3. Use good-quality chocolate. It makes all the difference in flavor.
4. Want a little crunch? Stir in some crushed graham crackers or rice cereal to the peanut butter mix.
