No-bake peanut butter balls

Here’s a simple No-Bake Peanut Butter Balls recipe that’s easy to make and irresistibly delicious!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smooth chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Make the Peanut Butter Mixture:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, melted butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar.
   • Mix until fully combined and the dough holds together.
2. Shape the Balls:
   • Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
   • Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
   • Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
4. Dip the Balls:
   • Using a fork or toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
   • Let excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
5. Set and Serve:
   • Refrigerate for another 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
   • Enjoy!

Storage:

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
