For a smoother chocolate coating, add an extra teaspoon of vegetable shortening while melting the chocolate.
If you prefer a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
To prevent the peanut butter mixture from sticking to your hands, lightly dampen them with water before rolling the balls.
These treats can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

    Next time I'll try using a cookie scoop to portion the peanut butter mixture, it'll make the process faster.

  • Carlee Russelschroeder

    The recipe was very clear and easy to follow. I had no issues at all and the balls came out perfect!

  • Oren Veum

    My kids helped me make these for a school bake sale, and they were a huge hit. We doubled the recipe and still ran out quickly!

  • Tate Ruecker

    I've made these for years, and they're always a crowd-pleaser. The only change I make is using natural peanut butter for a slightly healthier version.

  • Meagan Quitzon

    These were so easy to make and everyone loved them! I added a sprinkle of sea salt on top of the chocolate for a sweet and salty kick.
