Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and softened unsalted butter. Mix until well combined and smooth.
-
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Stir until the mixture forms a thick dough-like consistency.
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the peanut butter balls to firm up.
-
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
-
Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before returning the coated ball to the baking sheet.
-
Once all the peanut butter balls are coated in chocolate, place the baking sheet back in the freezer for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
-
Serve the Peanut Butter Balls at room temperature and enjoy the creamy, chocolatey goodness!
