Ingredients
- 2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup butter softened
- 2 Tablespoons brown sugar packed
- 1 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine peanut butter and butter and beat until well combined.
- Add brown sugar and vanilla and mix well.
- Gradually add powdered sugar until completely combined. Form into Tablespoon sized balls and roll in the palm of your hand until smooth and round.
- Place on wax-paper lined cookie sheet and freeze for 20-25 minutes.
- While peanut butter balls are in the freezer, prepare the chocolate. I brink a small amount of water to a boil in a saucepan, then place a stove-top proof bowl on top and add the chocolate. Reduce the heat and stir until melted.
- Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a toothpick, pick up each ball and dip into the chocolate.
- Return to wax-paper and allow to cool and the chocolate to set.
