Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, here’s the scoop on what you need. You ready?

– 16 oz chocolate bark (this stuff melts like a dream)

Honestly, get these and you’re halfway to heaven. Like, WHAT’S better than peanut butter and chocolate? 🥜🍫

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Let me tell you, these Peanut Butter Balls have become my go-to. So, picture this: I was having a rough week—work was stressing me out, and I needed *something* to lift my spirits. I remembered this recipe my mom used to make (with her, nothing was ever too sweet or too buttery—those were the days) and decided to whip some up.

I got my hands messy, chocolate everywhere (seriously, I had to clean the counter three times), and the whole house smelled like a candy shop. The best part? My friends dropped by while I was making them. They went nuts over these little balls of joy and suddenly, I was the coolest person on the block. 🏠✨

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, here’s the deal—when you’re rolling your balls (heh, sounds funny), make sure to refrigerate them for a bit before you dip them in chocolate. It just helps them hold their shape better when you’re doing the whole chocolate-dipping thing. Trust me! You’ll thank me later.

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Don’t skimp on the mixing: If the dough looks crumbly at first, keep mixing!! It’ll totally come together.
2. Check the chocolate: Melting chocolate can be tricky. If it’s not melting, turn the heat down and don’t get impatient!
3. Dipping drama: You wanna tap the wrist thing when you’re dipping or else you’ll have chocolate rivers running all over your kitchen. And trust me, clean-up isn’t fun.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, once you’ve made these divine bites, you can just pop them in a container. They’re fine on the counter for a bit, but if you wanna keep ‘em fresh longer, throw ‘em in the fridge. Just make sure to let them come to room temp for a few minutes before you dive in—trust me, they taste better that way!

6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
16 oz chocolate bark

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a medium bowl, blend together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth. Gradually incorporate the powdered sugar until fully mixed; it may be crumbly at first but will come together.
Refrigerate the mixture for a few hours until firm.
Once chilled, scoop out 1-inch portions and roll them into balls. Place them on a cookie sheet and freeze while melting the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate bark using a double boiler method: place a heat-safe bowl over simmering water and stir until melted.
Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Dip each ball using a toothpick, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on wax paper.
Let the chocolate harden before storing in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
