Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat the peanut butter and powdered sugar until smooth and thick. Stir in the vanilla extract. Form the peanut mixture into 20 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze the tray for 1 hour.
  2. Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl and place it over a double boiler. Melt, stirring. Remove the chocolate from the heat. Using two forks, carefully dip the cooled peanut butter balls halfway into the chocolate, letting any excess drip off, and place them on a parchment-lined tray.

  3. To decorate, use a fork to create streaks in the liquid chocolate. Refrigerate the candies for 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens and the peanut butter sets.

    Culinary advice: If the weather is hot and humid, dip your palms in powdered sugar before forming the balls. This will prevent the dough from sticking to your hands.
