Description

These easy to make candy balls are perfect for the holidays or anytime of the year. They are made with everyone's favorites semi-sweet chocolate peanut butter.

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
• 3 T. salted butter, softened
• 1 c. powdered sugar, plus more as needed
• 8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)

Steps

1. Mix peanut butter and salted butter together in a bowl. Gradually stir in powdered sugar until well combined and formed into a dough ball. If needed, add more powdered sugar a little at a time, until mixture holds together in a large ball.
2. Cover bowl; let peanut butter dough sit for about 15 minutes to firm up, or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to form balls.
3. Shape into 1" balls; place on a baking sheet; cover; refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up. Dough balls should hold their shape before dipping into chocolate. Add more refrigeration time, if necessary.
