Instructions:

1. Make the base: In a bowl, beat together peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla, and salt until creamy.
2. Incorporate the sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, about 1/2 cup at a time, until a stiff dough forms.
3. Form the balls: Roll the dough into 1-inch spheres and set them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill: Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, until firm.
5. Prepare the chocolate coating: Melt chocolate chips with shortening in the microwave in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
6. Dip the balls: Using a fork or toothpick, coat each peanut butter ball in chocolate. Let excess drip off, then return to the tray.
7. Set and store: Chill for 15 minutes or until chocolate hardens. Keep in an airtight container.

Peanut Butter Balls are a timeless no-bake treat — rich, nutty centers encased in silky chocolate. They’re perfect for the holidays, parties, or just a little sweet indulgence.
