Instructions
Mix the Peanut Butter Dough
Combine the creamy peanut butter, sifted powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl and stir together with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick, smooth, dough-like mixture forms. If the mixture feels too soft to roll, add a few more tablespoons of powdered sugar until it holds its shape when pressed.
Roll and Chill
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the peanut butter mixture and roll them between your palms into smooth balls. Place the finished balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until very firm and cold, which makes dipping in chocolate much easier and cleaner.
Dip in Chocolate and Set
Melt the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until silky smooth. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, shake off the excess, and set on the parchment sheet. Allow to set at room temperature for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 10 minutes until the chocolate shell is firm.
