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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Chill:
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
- Serve:
- Enjoy them as a sweet snack or dessert!
Tips:
