Notes
Back again by request. Perfect little peanut butter and chocolate treats. Makes about 4 dozen
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 oz white chocolate chips
- 2 3/4 cups creamy peanut butter
- 4 TBL butter, softened
- 3 cups (12 oz) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Microwave white chocolate chips at 50% power until melted, about 1 and a half minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
- Beat peanut butter, melted white chocolate, butter, sugar, vanilla and salt with mixer on medium-high speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
- Roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
- Microwave semisweet chocolate chips at 50% power in a small container until melted, about 2 minutes.
- Dip chilled balls into melted chocolate, using a toothpick. Leave top quarter of balls uncovered. If peanut butter balls get too soft refreeze. If chocolate thickens, microwave again. Keep chocolate level deep enough to dip with ease.
- Place balls back on prepared baking sheet.
- Refrigerate balls until set, about 1 hour.
