The inside is usually a mixture of:
• Peanut Butter (creamy is best for this texture)
• Softened Butter
• Powdered Sugar (to make it firm enough to roll into balls)
• A splash of vanilla
The Coating
The shiny coating in the photo looks like either melted Butterscotch chips or a Caramel-flavored chocolate.
• Melting: Melt the chips in the microwave in 30-second bursts with a teaspoon of coconut oil to get that smooth, glossy finish.
• Dipping: Use a toothpick or a fork to dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the coating.
• Setting: Place them on a tray and let them firm up in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Quick Tips for Success
• Chill the balls first: Before you dip them, make sure the peanut butter balls are very cold (or even frozen for 15 minutes). This prevents them from melting into the hot coating.
• Add texture: If you like a bit of crunch, you can mix in some crushed graham crackers or crispy rice cereal into the peanut butter center.
