Chocolate covered peanut butter balls

Chocolate-covered peanut butter balls are a delicious treat! Here’s a simple recipe to make them:

Ingredients:

  • For the filling:
    • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
    • 1/4 cup unsweetened powdered sugar
    • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional)
    • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the coating:
    • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)

Instructions:

  1. Make the Filling:
    • In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and vanilla until well combined.
    • Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Freeze for about 30 minutes until firm.
  2. Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  3. Coat the Balls:
    • Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to help coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
    • Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill:
    • Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
  5. Serve:
    • Enjoy them as a sweet snack or dessert!

Tips:

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
  • You can experiment with different types of chocolate or add toppings like crushed nuts or sea salt.
