Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 4 tbsp softened unsalted butter. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth and fully incorporated.
  2. Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1-inch diameter balls and place them on the prepared sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
  3. Step 3: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
  4. Step 4: Using a fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Return to the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate for 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
  5. Step 5: Store the chocolate peanut butter bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Serve chilled.
