Ingredients
For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Optional: Toppings of your choice (sprinkles, chopped nuts, etc.)
Instructions
Start by preparing the peanut butter mixture. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter and vegetable oil. Stir until the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth.
Next, melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler. If you don’t have a double boiler, you can use a heat-proof bowl set over a pot of boiling water. Stir the chocolate until it is completely melted and smooth.
Once the chocolate has melted, add the peanut butter mixture to the pot and stir until everything is combined. The mixture should be thick and creamy. If it is too thick, add a little more vegetable oil to thin it out.
Using two spoons, scoop up a spoonful of the peanut butter mixture and drop it into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to turn the mixture over, coating it completely with the chocolate. Place the chocolate covered peanut butter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter mixture.
If desired, add the optional toppings to the chocolate covered peanut butter. Sprinkle with chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or other desired toppings. Allow the peanut butter to cool and the chocolate to set before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled for a larger batch. If you are not planning to serve all of the chocolate covered peanut butter immediately, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. They will last for up to two weeks in the refrigerator and up to two months in the freezer.
