These delightful chocolate-dipped peanut butter bites are a perfect treat for any occasion. Easy to make and delicious to eat, they are sure to please everyone.
Combine the peanut butter, butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl until a smooth dough forms.
Ensure the butter is softened for easier mixing.
Shape the dough into small balls, about half an inch in diameter, and place them on a tray lined with wax paper.
Use a small cookie scoop for uniform sizes.
Freeze the balls for at least one hour to firm them up.
This step makes dipping in chocolate easier.
Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
Avoid overheating the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
Insert a toothpick into each peanut butter ball and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering it completely.
Gently tap off excess chocolate for a smooth finish.
Place the dipped balls back onto the wax paper-lined tray and freeze until the chocolate sets.
Ensure the balls are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
Store the finished bites in an airtight container in the freezer and serve directly from frozen.
Label the container with the date for freshness tracking.
