Gather ingredients.

Cream together peanut butter and melted butter.
When using peanut butter in a recipe, I recommend the Oxo Good Grips measuring cup.

Add powdered sugar.

Your mixture should look something like this.

Roll into evenly spaced balls. The oil from the peanut butter and butter makes these fairly easy to work with, but if needed grease your hands with butter or cooking spray.

Carefully dip each ball into melted chocolate, shaking off excess. Place on wax or parchment paper to cool.

If desired, sprinkle with holiday sprinkles. Because everything is better with sprinkles.

Your treat is ready!

These really do taste as amazing as they look.
