250 g powdered sugar

250 g creamy peanut butter
03 -
85 g unsalted butter, melted
04 -
5 ml vanilla extract
→ Coating

200 g dipping chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter and vanilla extract. Add the peanut butter and stir until smooth.
02 -
Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring continuously until a thick, smooth dough forms. Adjust with additional powdered sugar if necessary to achieve proper consistency.
03 -
Portion the dough using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop. Roll each portion into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 -
Chill the shaped peanut butter balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to ensure firmness during dipping.
05 -
Melt the dipping chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.

Allow the chocolate coating to harden at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting before serving.
# Handy Cooking Tips:
01 -
For creamier texture use smooth peanut butter. Adding a pinch of salt balances sweetness when using unsalted peanut butter. Freeze balls before dipping to prevent breakage.
