Cover with plastic wrap and freeze the balls for 30 minutes to firm.
07 -
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1.5 cups chocolate bark or chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
08 -
Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, allow excess to drip off, then place back onto the baking sheet.

Let the chocolate harden at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for faster setting.

For best texture, use conventional peanut butter rather than natural to avoid excessive oiliness.
02 -
Sifting powdered sugar helps prevent lumps in the mixture.
