Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter smooth
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the peanut butter, butter, and vanilla to a large bowl, and using an electric mixer beat them just until combined.
- Add powdered sugar and mix on low speed until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl a few times during this step.
- Using a small cookie spoon or tablespoon, take about one tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll into balls.
- Set them onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper and chill until firm. At least 20-30 minutes.
- Add chocolate and coconut oil to a medium bowl and melt by microwave it for 1 minute, after that stir well, and if needed microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir to combine and set aside to cool to room temperature.
- Use a skewer or toothpick to dip a bit more than halfway the peanut butter balls into the chocolate.
- Chill to allow the chocolate to firm up and enjoy. Run a small knife or spatula over the tops to hide the holes.
