I used to dip the peanut butter balls in melted chocolate chips combined with butter. The dipping chocolate goes so much faster, though, and it a better “candy” look. The coating stays hardened even when the candies aren’t frozen. In the Midwest, I purchase what’s called “almond bark” in chocolate and vanilla and melt it in a glass measuring cup in the microwave. Fast and easy! My daughter has a friend who prefers the balls dipped in the vanilla flavor.
