Ingredients
-
1½ cups creamy peanut butter (room temperature)

4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
-
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

½ teaspoon kosher salt

Red and green sanding sugar or festive sprinkles
Instructions
-
-
Prep your station: Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
-
Make the dough: In a large bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt.
-
Add sugar: Gradually mix in powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until a firm, pliable dough forms.
-
Shape balls: Scoop 1-tbsp portions and roll into 1″ balls. Place on prepared sheets.
-
Chill: Refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or freeze 15 minutes).
-
Dip in chocolate: Melt white chocolate gently. Dip chilled balls, letting excess drip off.
-
Decorate: Immediately sprinkle with red/green sugars.
-
Set: Let set at room temperature (20 min) or refrigerate (10 min).

Notes
-
Consistency fix: If dough is too sticky, add extra powdered sugar; if too dry, add a splash of milk.
-
Chocolate tip: Stir in 1 tsp coconut oil for smoother coating.
-
Make-ahead: Store in fridge up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 3 months.
