Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 12 oz bag of chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons shortening
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter, ½ cup softened butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually add 3 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. By the third cup, the mixture will become thick, so use your hands to fully combine.
- Pinch off small portions of the mixture and roll between your hands to form small balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet.
- In a double boiler (or a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan with 1 inch of simmering water), melt 1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons shortening, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, then lift it out with a fork and place it back onto the waxed paper.
- Once all the balls are coated, refrigerate for 15–30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set
