Instructions

Prepare Peanut Butter Filling: In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, softened butter, salt, and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar until a thick dough forms.
Shape into Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Coat Peanut Butter Balls: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the baking sheet.
Set Chocolate: Chill the candies until the chocolate coating is set, approximately 15 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a crunchier texture, use crunchy peanut butter.
You can drizzle extra melted chocolate on top for decoration.
These candies freeze well for extended storage.
