How To Make Peanut Butter Balls:
- Prepare the base: Beat together peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar: Gradually mix in powdered sugar (about 1/2 cup at a time) until a firm dough forms.
- Shape the balls: Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the mixture: Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes until firm.
- Melt the chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips with shortening in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip and coat: Use a fork or toothpick to dip each ball into melted chocolate. Tap off excess and place back on tray.
- Set and store: Refrigerate for 15 minutes until chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container.
