Gather
Your Ingredients:
Make sure you have everything before
you begin.
- 1-1/2 cups natural peanut butter (make sure it is made from peanuts only or that it has no sugar added so that they aren't to oily)
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 2 cups gluten-free icing sugar (available at health food and bulk food stores)
- 5 oz semisweet chocolate or bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tsp shortening
- 1/4 cup peanut butter chips
Creating Your Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls Masterpiece:
- In a double boiler or bowl over a pan of hot but not boiling
water, melt peanut butter* with butter. Once it is melted, stir in the
vanilla.
- Then slowly add icing sugar, and stir until smooth and well blended. Let it sit until cool enough to form into balls, about 5 minutes. You can always put it in the fridge to cool it faster.
- Roll dough in your hands into about 1 inch balls and place them on
prepared cookie sheet. Refrigerate them until dough is firm, about an
hour or so.
- Meanwhile, in a double boiler or bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt semisweet chocolate with the shortening.
- Stick a toothpick in each peanut butter ball and dip them into
chocolate mixture and place on prepared cookie sheet. Refrigerate until firm,
about an hour or so.
- In microwaveable dish or saucepan, melt peanut butter chips and
drizzle it over the balls. Place in the fridge until they are set.
*Make sure you stir the peanut butter before using to mix the oil and
peanut butter together as the oil tends to float to the top.
