- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups powdered sugar
Chocolate Coating:
- 2 cups semisweet or dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, blending until a thick dough forms.
- Shape Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
