60 servings

  • 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
  • 1.5 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
  • Combine confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl; mix together with your hands to form a smooth stiff dough. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until ready to coat with chocolate.
  • Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a metal bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir occasionally until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
  • Remove chilled peanut butter balls from the refrigerator.
  • Insert a wooden toothpick into a ball, and dip into the melted chocolate until coated. Return to the baking sheet, chocolate-side down, and remove the toothpick.
  • Repeat Step 5 to coat remaining balls. Refrigerate coated balls until set, about 30 minutes.
