Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect pairing, and these sweet and salty peanut butter balls covered in dark chocolate are sure to please any peanut butter lover. Before coating the balls in chocolate, make sure they're well chilled and firm. This will prevent them from falling apart and will allow the chocolate to set faster. If the chocolate thickens before you've coated all the balls, simply reheat it in the microwave.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a large bowl, combine the powdered sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet. Freeze for about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the chocolate and remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring with a silicone spatula, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Holding the ball steady with two forks, dip it into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Shake off any excess chocolate.
- Place the ball on a baking sheet. Coat each peanut butter ball with chocolate in the same manner. Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Store any remaining balls in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
Note
This recipe works with either regular or natural peanut butter, but regular peanut butter produces more delicate and creamy candies.
