Delicious peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate, inspired by the classic Ohio State treat.
Ingredients
Dough
0.5
cup
butter (unsalted, softened)
2
cups
peanut butter (creamy, not natural)
1
teaspoon
vanilla extract
4
cups
confectioners sugar (powdered)
0.25
teaspoon
sea salt (or kosher)
Chocolate coating
12
oz
semisweet chocolate chips (Ghirardelli)
11.5
oz
milk chocolate chips (Ghirardelli)
1
tablespoon
coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)
Instructions
Mix butter and peanut butter until smooth, then add vanilla and salt.
Gradually add powdered sugar until dough is firm enough to roll into balls.
Shape into 1-inch balls, insert toothpicks, and chill for 15 minutes.
Melt chocolates with coconut oil, then dip each ball, leaving about 80% covered.
Refrigerate until chocolate is set, then remove toothpicks and smooth any holes.
Notes
Chill the peanut butter balls well before dipping for best results.
