Peanut Butter Balls
These Peanut Butter Balls are creamy, chocolatey, and downright irresistible. They're a no-bake treat that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter softened
- 1 c. creamy peanut butter
- 2 ½ c. powdered sugar
- ¼ tsp. vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 12 oz. semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the butter until smooth. Add the peanut butter, and mix well.
- Add the vanilla, and slowly add the powdered sugar, mixing well between. The mixture will be crumbly.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out 1 inch balls of the peanut butter mixture.
- Roll this mixture into balls.
- Freeze the peanut butter balls for 1 hour.
- Remove from the freezer, and add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil to a microwave safe bowl.
- Heat on 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted.
- Dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, and let the excess drip off.
- If desired, drizzle any remaining chocolate over some of the balls.
- Allow the peanut butter balls to chill for 2 hours, until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Freeze before dipping. It keeps the balls firm and makes coating easier.
- Add a drizzle. Use leftover chocolate to make them look extra fancy.
- Use good-quality chocolate. It makes all the difference in flavor.
- Want a little crunch? Stir in some crushed graham crackers or rice cereal to the peanut butter mix.
