Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls.
Step 1
To create delicious peanut butter balls, start by grabbing a mixing bowl and combining crushed cornflakes cereal, confectioners' sugar, smooth peanut butter, and softened butter.
Step 2
Mix everything together until it’s well blended and has a delightful consistency.
Step 3
Next, using a melon baller or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small, bite-sized balls.
Step 4
Place these little treats on a plate or a baking sheet, ready for the next step.
Step 5
Now, it’s time to chill! Pop the peanut butter balls into the refrigerator for at least three hours, allowing them to firm up nicely.
Step 6
While you wait, let’s prepare the chocolate coating.
Step 7
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips with a splash of vegetable oil.
Step 8
Heat this mixture in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth—this should take about 1 to 3 minutes.
Step 9
Once your chocolate is ready, lightly grease a baking sheet to prevent sticking.
Step 10
When the peanut butter balls are solid and ready to go, dip each one into the melted chocolate, making sure they’re evenly coated.
Step 11
Place the chocolate-covered balls on the prepared baking sheet and let them set.
Step 12
Enjoy the sweet anticipation as they cool, and soon you’ll have a delightful treat that’s perfect for sharing—or keeping all to yourself!.
