These Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are my favorite candy for the Holidays and so incredibly Easy to make with just 4-ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 Tbsp salted butter (softened)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Tbsp vegetable shortening or coconut oil (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

    Mix the peanut butter and softened butter together in a mixing bowl. Gradually stir in powdered sugar until fully combined. Cover and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes to firm up.

  2. 2

    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 (this will hold it's shape for dipping).

  3. 3

    Melt the chocolate chips according to package instructions.

  4. 4

    Using a fork, dip the peanut butter balls one at a time into the melted chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to fall off. Place the chocolate balls onto wax paper, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
