Easy Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls Recipe - 4 Ingredients

Ingredients

Servings:
20
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting chocolate)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar

    In a medium bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until well mixed.

    Use a spatula to ensure no lumps remain.
  2. Form Balls

    Scoop out mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

    Keep your hands slightly wet to prevent sticking.
  3. Chill the Balls

    Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.

    Chilling helps them hold shape when coating.
  4. Melt Chocolate

    In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil, then microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth.

    Stir well between intervals to avoid burning.
  5. Coat Peanut Butter Balls

    Dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.

    Use a fork for easy dipping and to shake off excess chocolate.
  6. Set and Serve

    Place the chocolate-coated balls back on the parchment paper and let them set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
