How to store peanut butter balls

Tips on how to make peanut butter balls

• Chilling the balls helps them to be less sticky when rolling, and the chocolate will set up faster once dipped.
• Melting chocolate is always the best Wiltons chocolate of Ghiradelli wafers. But you can use chocolate chips I just recommend using Ghiradelli.
• Do not get water in your chocolate or it will seize up.
• You can also use a toothpick to dip the balls in chocolate, can be a little messier but still works.
• Once the balls are dipped into the chocolate make sure you tap the excess off on the side of the bowl.
• Use dark chocolate or milk chocolate whichever you prefer.

Can you freeze peanut butter balls?

Yes, you can, I recommend adding a layer of wax paper or parchment paper in between the layers. Thaw in the refrigerator or at room temperature.

• Remove balls from the freezer and roll each ball between palms until completely smooth and place back on the baking sheet.
• Heat melting chocolate and oil in a small bowl in the microwave in 30 seconds increments until completely melted.

Notes

If using chocolate chips I recommend Ghiradelli, they melt the best. But they will have to be chilled in the refrigerator after covered in chocolate.
