Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 10 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers

Instruction

  • In a bowl, add peanut butter, butter, and vanilla. Stir until combined and creamy. Add salt and 1 cup of confectioner's sugar at a time until all 3 cups are combined. Mixture will be very thick, like a dough.
  • Roll dough into one-inch balls and place onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Transfer baking sheet to refrigerator and allow to chill for 30 minutes (or into the freezer for 15 minutes). 
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, heat melting wafers in 30 second increments, stirring every 30 seconds, until wafers are melted and smooth. 
  • Remove peanut butter balls from the refrigerator. Pierce the center of a peanut butter ball with a toothpick, going about halfway though. Dip the ball about 2/3 of the way into the chocolate, leaving a circle of peanut butter exposed on the top. Lift out of chocolate and gently shake off excess chocolate. Place back onto cold baking sheet. Repeat until all balls are coated. 
  • Allow to harden on the counter top for 30 minutes, or in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
