- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar

- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon scoop the mixture into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a baking mat. Place in freezer for 5 minutes.
- 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.

- Continue until all bowls are coated. Let set until hardened.
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.
