How to Make Chocolate Balls

  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup creamy peanut butter, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup milk. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
  2. Roll the mixture into bite-sized balls, approximately the size of walnuts.
  3. Melt 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 teaspoon of paraffin wax (to create a glossy shine and help the chocolate set) in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. Using a toothpick or a small fork, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the dipped balls onto a sheet of wax paper.
  5. Refrigerate the chocolate peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
