Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 1/4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions
 

  • Beat together the peanut butter, unsalted butter, salt, and vanilla extract until the mix is smooth.
  • Gradually stir in the powdered sugar until you get a stiff dough. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into smooth balls.
  • Place the balls on a wax paper-lined tray and chill in the freezer for about 15 minutes. This makes them easier to dip.
  • While the balls chill, melt the semisweet chocolate chips with the coconut oil in the microwave using 25-second bursts, stirring between each burst until smooth.
  • Insert a toothpick into each ball and dip it into the melted chocolate so that a small patch of peanut butter still shows. Set the dipped balls on a clean tray and let the chocolate harden. Remove toothpicks and serve.
