Irresistible Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bites

In a mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter, softened unsalted butter, and vanilla extract.

Add powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture and mix on low until combined. Scrape down the bowl and mix again.

Pinch off tablespoon-sized pieces and roll into balls. Transfer the balls to a baking sheet and chill for at least 20 minutes, or until firm.

Add semisweet chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium bowl and melt at 50% power in the microwave. Stir until combined and let it cool to room temperature.

Use a skewer or toothpick to dip the chilled peanut butter balls into the chocolate mixture, leaving a small area of peanut butter exposed on top for the classic buckeye look.

Place the chocolate-covered balls back onto the baking sheet and chill them until the chocolate firms up.

Optionally, smooth over the holes left by the skewers using a small knife or spatula.
