Directions:
- Make the Peanut Butter Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter.
- Gradually stir in the powdered sugar until fully combined.
- Cover the mixture and place it in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up.
- Form the Balls:
- Using your hands, shape the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet, cover, and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to hold their shape for dipping.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- Melt the chocolate chips according to the package instructions.
- If desired, add vegetable shortening or coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
- Dip the Peanut Butter Balls:
- Using a fork, dip the peanut butter balls one at a time into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-covered balls onto wax paper, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
