These Chocolate-Coated Peanut Butter Delights are a fun and easy treat to make, perfect for sharing or enjoying as a sweet indulgence.
Combine the powdered sugar, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Ensure the butter is softened to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth consistency.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
Using a small cookie scoop can help ensure uniform sizes for the balls.
Chill the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up.
Chilling helps the balls hold their shape during the coating process.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing.
Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, and place it back on the waxed paper.
Use a fork to lift the balls out of the chocolate and tap gently to remove excess coating.
Allow the coated balls to set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
If you're in a hurry, you can place the coated balls in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
Serve the Chocolate-Coated Peanut Butter Delights and enjoy!
Arrange the treats on a decorative plate for a beautiful presentation.
