Instructions

In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until well combined and smooth.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, letting the excess drip off.
Place back on the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate until chocolate is set.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Notes

Use crunchy peanut butter for added texture.
White or dark chocolate can be used for variety.
Chill the peanut butter mixture longer if it’s too soft to roll.
