Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups chocolate chips use semi-sweet or milk chocolate
  • 0.5 cup creamy peanut butter smooth and unsweetened
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt to taste

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring frequently until smooth.
  • Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners and pour about a teaspoon of melted chocolate into each liner, tilting to coat the sides. Refrigerate to set.
  • In a separate bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth. Divide evenly and roll into balls.
  • Place a peanut butter ball into each chocolate-coated liner and gently press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted chocolate and refrigerate until firm.

Notes

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container.
