Step 1 of 14

Note* I used more than 2 ingredients because that's the way my family likes them, but you don't have to. They can be made with only peanut butter and icing sugar (which I personally like more :)

Step 2 of 14

Warning: there is no specific measurements for these. It's all about trail and error, but trust me, after you've done it once, it is not hard :)

Step 3 of 14
Spoon a good amount of peanut butter into a bowl. I did about 2 of these.

Dump in some icing sugar. You'll be surprised at how much you'll need if you decide not to add any other ingredients. However, my mom doesn't like them so sweet. The next 2 ingredients are optional...

Mix THOROUGHLY. It should come out as a crumbly mix. If it is too wet, add more of the dry ingredients. If it's too dry, add more peanut butter. I got it right on the first try (first time ever!)

Step 8 of 14
You should be able to squeeze it into a ball easily without it falling apart. Here I squished a chunk of the mix twice and it stuck together nicely.

I ended up making a second batch just because I'm part of a big family and when I bake, I need to bake A LOT!

Using the spoon, drizzle the chocolate onto the balls. I think I need to work on my drizzling skills ๐Ÿ˜‹ you can also dip the balls into the chocolate, but I find this faster.

Elisa, these can be made with only peanut butter and icing sugar! Since my mom doesn't like them that sweet though, I had to add more. Plus chocolate for extra flavor :)
