4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Balls

Instructions
- 1
Mix peanut butter, butter, and powdered sugar: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the softened butter and peanut butter. Mix at medium speed to combine until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and mix on low until the mixture is no longer crumbly, about 2 minutes. Transfer the bowl to the fridge to chill for 20 minutes.

Roll dough into balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the baking sheet and stick it in the freezer for 10 to 20 minutes. Roll each scoop into smooth balls. If the dough warms up too much, chill it again before rolling additional balls. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and freeze for 30 minutes.

Cover balls with chocolate and chill: Over a double boiler or in the microwave, melt the chopped chocolate. Place a peanut butter ball on the tines of a large fork to hold it while dipping (don't insert the tines into the ball). Dip the ball into the chocolate to completely coat it. Remove the ball from the chocolate, holding it over the bowl, and gently tap off any excess. Transfer back to the lined baking sheet and spoon additional chocolate over any holes. Repeat with each ball. Transfer the baking sheet to the fridge to allow the chocolate to fully set, about 15 minutes.
