MILK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS



Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls image

With only five ingredients (six if you add the sprinkles), Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are a simple, easy goodie that come together in no time at all and will undoubtedly disappear equally quickly. But don't worry; smiles (and quite possibly recipe requests) will be left behind.

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup creamy peanut butter (Jif, Skippy or the like - not the all-natural stuff)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter (room temperature)
2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1 cup milk chocolate chips
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
Sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter and the butter.
  • Sift in the powdered sugar, stirring with a fork until combined. The mixture will be crumbly.
  • Using your hands, shape pieces of the peanut butter mixture into one-inch balls, and set on waxed paper.
  • Let sit for 20 - 30 minutes until dry to the touch.
  • In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and the shortening.
  • Microwave the chocolate chips and shortening at high power for 30 seconds; stir. Continue heating in 15 second increments, stirring each time, until chocolate chips begin to melt. Keep stirring until they're all the way melted. For me and my microwave, this takes about a minute total.
  • Drop the balls into the chocolate and, using a fork, coat the ball. Lift out carefully with the fork and place on waxed paper.
  • If using sprinkles, scatter them on the peanut butter balls once they're all coated.
  • Allow to sit for an hour or two until the chocolate has hardened.
  • Set in cute paper candy cups for some extra flair.
  • Keep tightly covered in the fridge for up to two weeks.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or dark chocolate will give a more intense flavor than milk chocolate.
  • Make sure the peanut butter is smooth and creamy. If it's too thick, it will be difficult to roll the balls.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it into balls. This will help the balls hold their shape better.
  • Roll the balls in chopped peanuts, sprinkles, or other toppings before chilling them. This will add extra flavor and texture.
  • Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or coated in toppings, these balls are sure to be a hit.
