Peanut Butter Balls Classic (Print)

Creamy peanut butter paired with semisweet chocolate creates a creamy, chilled treat with minimal prep.

# What You Need:

→ Peanut Butter Mixture

01 - 1 cup creamy peanut butter
02 - 2 cups powdered sugar

→ Chocolate Coating

03 - 1½ cups semisweet chocolate chips

# Steps:

01 - In a large bowl, thoroughly blend the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and firm enough to shape into balls.
02 - Roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
03 - Place the baking sheet with the peanut butter balls in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
04 - Gently melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth, or melt using a double boiler.
05 - Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer; using a toothpick, dip each ball about three-quarters into the melted chocolate, leaving a small exposed circle of peanut butter on top.
06 - Place the dipped balls back on the baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes until the chocolate is set.
07 - Carefully remove toothpicks and smooth over holes with chocolate if desired.
