No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 2 cups chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet)
Instructions:
- Make the Peanut Butter Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition until a firm dough forms.
- Shape the Balls:
- Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
- Dip the Peanut Butter Balls:
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Set the Coating:
- Allow the chocolate to set by chilling the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes.
- Serve and Store:
- Once the chocolate is set, enjoy your no-bake peanut butter balls! Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
