Ingredients
  

  • ¾ cup peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 16 oz chocolate chips or 8 oz chocolate chips and 8 oz peanut butter chips

Instructions
 

  • Beat together peanut butter and melted butter in a large bowl. Slowly pour in powdered sugar until mixture forms a ball. Refrigerate for about 10-15 minutes to allow dough ball to harden.
  • After 10-15 minutes is up, shape the dough into 1 inch balls. Place in the freezer on a baking tray for 15 minutes for balls to firm up.
  • During that 15 minutes, melt chocolate chips or chocolate chip/peanut butter chips into a large bowl (it can be the same bowl) in the microwave for 1 minute. Stir. If not completely melted, keep melting at 10 second intervals until melted.
  • When freezing time is up, drop balls 1 at a time in the melted chocolate. Take out of chocolate with a spoon. Use a spatula to wipe off any excess chocolate. Place chocolate covered ball onto a baking pan lined with waxed paper. Repeat with remaining balls. Freeze for at least an hour before serving.
