Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Balls Recipe
Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Filling:

1 cup creamy or crunchy peanut butter
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Chocolate Coating:

1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or dark chocolate chips)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
Make the Peanut Butter Filling:
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy or crunchy peanut butter and softened butter. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until fully combined and a dough forms.
Refrigerate the mixture for about 30 minutes to make it easier to handle.
Shape the Balls:
Once chilled, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is shaped into balls.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up the balls.
