Ingredients
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 15 oz jar of unsweetened creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 teaspoon all natural vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 3 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 teaspoons Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, or in the body of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the powdered sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and softened butter. Beat on low-speed until combined and slightly crumbly.
- Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, and continue to beat until the mixture becomes a workable dough. It will be a little sticky, but scoop-able and easy to work with.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon-sized rounds of filling out onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roll each round into ball. Place the baking sheet in the freezer to firm up for one hour.
- During the last few minutes of the chill time, make the chocolate coating. You will make the chocolate coating in the microwave. Place the chocolate and oil in a heatproof glass measuring cup and melt, on low-power, in 30 second increments, stirring after each increment, until completely melted. Whisk chocolate smooth and let it slightly cool before dipping.
- Remove peanut butter balls from freezer. One at a time, carefully dip each chilled ball in the melted chocolate. When lifting the peanut butter ball out of the chocolate remember to allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Transfer the chocolate covered balls back to parchment paper lined baking sheet after dipping each one. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Transfer the peanut butter balls to the refrigerator to set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled.
Notes
- 1) If you like, garnish with half of a peanut and a sprinkling of flaky salt. Do this step while the chocolate is still warm, prior to chilling in the refrigerator. 2)For easy dipping use a small fork or specialty truffle dipping skewer. 3)If you don't own a microwave, you can make the chocolate coating in a double broiler.
