Ingredients

  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 3/4 cup salted butter softened
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 packages 1 lb each Chocolate Candy Coating

Instructions

  • Start by mixing the two cups of creamy peanut butter, salted butter as well as the vanilla extract in a bowl.
  • Make sure that the three ingredients are well-mixed to move to the second step which is adding powdered sugar little by little to the mixture. To note that you may have to add a little bit less or more than the three cups of powdered sugar; it depends on your will. Then you stop mixing once all the ingredients are well-mixed that they give you one thick ball.
  • Using a lined baking sheet do please cover the mixture so that you can place it in the refrigerator to chill for 15to 25 minutes. It can also be kept in the refrigerator for two days; you just need to cover it firmly.
  • Now that the one ball is firmed up, portion it out into small balls and set them again in the refrigerator for 15 or 20minutes. Do not skip this step otherwise, you will find it difficult to dip the peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate.
  • In another bowl melt the chocolate relying on the instructions on its package.
  • When the chocolate is melted start dipping the peanut butter balls in it one by one; do not forget to tap off the excess on the ball before placing it on a wax paper.
  • Finally and before serving or packaging the sweet peanut butter balls do please chill them.

Notes

The dough of the peanut butter you get after mixing all the ingredients can be kept in the refrigerator for no more than two days and before it is dipped into chocolate. Also, when you are working with the dough if you notice that it becomes somehow soft, don’t worry, as it only needs to be taken back to the refrigerator for a while.
