Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter, creamy
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- 1
Pour 1 cup peanut butter and 1 cup powdered sugar into a medium bowl and stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is completely uniform and no sugar streaks remain visible, about 1 minute.
- 2
Roll the peanut butter mixture between your palms into 12 balls, each roughly the size of a walnut, and place them on a plate lined with parchment paper.
- 3
Place 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium power (50% strength) in 30-second bursts, stirring after each burst, until the chocolate melts completely, about 90 seconds total.
- 4
Using a fork, pick up one peanut butter ball, dip it into the melted chocolate to coat all sides, and set it back on the parchment paper; repeat with all 12 balls.
- 5
Refrigerate the balls in the freezer for 5 minutes until the chocolate sets hard, then transfer to an airtight container for storage.
