Homemade Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Patties

🍫 Homemade Chocolate-Covered Peanut Butter Patties

Ingredients:

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter (or crunchy if you like texture)
• ½ cup powdered sugar
• 2 Tbsp butter (softened)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2–3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or milk chocolate, depending on taste)
• 2 Tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)

Instructions:

1. Make Filling
   
   • In a bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, butter, and vanilla until smooth and dough-like.
   • Roll into small balls, then flatten into discs (about cookie size). Place on a parchment-lined tray.
3. Chill
   
   • Freeze or refrigerate the patties for at least 30 minutes so they firm up before dipping.
5. Melt Chocolate
   
   • In a microwave or double boiler, melt chocolate chips with coconut oil until smooth.
7. Dip Patties
   
   • Using a fork, dip each peanut butter disc into melted chocolate, coating completely.
   • Place back onto parchment paper.
9. Set
   
   • Chill again for about 1 hour until the chocolate hardens.
11. Store
    
    • Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage.
