Ingredients

Peanut Butter Balls
1 ½ cups creamy peanut butter, do not use natural peanut butter or the kind with oil floating on the top
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 tablespoon brown sugar
¾ teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon kosher salt, omit if using salted butter
5 cups powdered sugar

Chocolate Coating
2 cups dark chocolate chips
2 cup dark chocolate candy melts (or use all chocolate chips)
1 ½ tablespoons coconut oil, may use crisco shortening

Instructions

Peanut Butter Balls
Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix together the butter, peanut butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt until very smooth and creamy. If you rub a little between your fingers there should be no granules.
Slowly add the powdered sugar.
Beat until the mixture holds together and is smooth.
Roll into 1-½ inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Freeze for 20 minutes. You can also cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Chocolate Coating
Mix the chocolate chips and candy melts.
Melt in the microwave at 50% power in 15-30 second intervals, stirring after every interval.
Continue until the chocolate is creamy and smooth.
If the chocolate seems too thick you may add a little coconut oil, a teaspoon at a time until you get the right consistency. Stir in until completely blended.
Insert a toothpick into the top of the chilled peanut butter balls.
Dip it in the chocolate coating leaving a circle of peanut butter at the top that is not covered with chocolate.
Allow excess chocolate to drizzle off for a few seconds.
Place it on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Smooth out the hole where the toothpick was with the flat side of a knife.
