Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening (optional)
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, softened butter, and powdered sugar until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth. If desired, add vegetable shortening to achieve a smoother consistency.
Using a toothpick or fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely.
Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
Once set, store the peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Enjoy these delicious peanut butter balls as a sweet treat or share them with friends and family!
