A HEALTHIER TAKE ON PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
These no-bake peanut butter balls have just five ingredients. They make the perfect pick-me-up snack and pack a sweet punch that will "cure" any sweet tooth. You can make these one-bite treats ahead of time and simply store them in the fridge until they're ready to serve. We tested these with a variety of peanut butters and found that if you're using a no added salt peanut butter, you might want to slightly up the salt in the recipe.

Steps:
- Stir together 1/2 cup of the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and stir until fully incorporated. Scoop out 18 balls (about 1 tablespoon each) onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH until melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes, stirring in 30-second intervals. Dip chilled balls, one at a time, into chocolate, turning to coat. Lift out with a fork and let excess drip off. Place back onto parchment. Repeat with remaining balls. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Microwave remaining 2 tablespoons peanut butter until loosened, about 20 seconds on HIGH. Drizzle balls evenly with peanut butter. Chill until set, about 5 minutes. Freeze or refrigerate in an airtight container.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect pairing--and these sweet and salty peanut butter balls covered in bittersweet chocolate are sure to satisfy your craving. Make sure the balls are chilled and firm before rolling them in the chocolate. It will ensure that they do not fall apart and helps the chocolate set faster. If the chocolate thickens while you are dipping the balls, just pop it back in the microwave for 20 seconds and stir until smooth.

Steps:
- Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet or tray. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.
- Holding with two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Tap off excess chocolate. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Refrigerate extra balls in an airtight container.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients. You may have to mix by hand. I've found it helps to mix with your hands much like kneading dough. It's a little dry, so you may have to add a tiny bit of milk or oil to keep it together.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and store in airtight container in the fridge. You may roll them in wheat germ or powdered sugar if you like.
