Ingredients
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter (I always use natural style for better flavor)

6. Fold in 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips and 1 tsp vanilla extract until evenly distributed.
7. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for exactly 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
9. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll between your palms to form 1-inch balls.
10. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart.

You’ll love how these rich, fudgy treats satisfy chocolate cravings without turning on the oven.
