Ingredients

Instructions
In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter and powdered sugar until a thick dough forms. Roll the dough into 1-inch size balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the balls.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate and place back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
Once the chocolate has hardened, the peanut butter balls are ready to be served. Store the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Enjoy!
