Gather all ingredients.
-
Beat peanut butter, butter, and vanilla together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in 4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar until dough is stiff, firm, and dry with no lumps; adding more sifted sugar as needed.
-
Roll dough into about sixty 1-inch balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheets. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball and chill in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
-
Place chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until melted and smooth.
-
Hold the toothpicks and dip frozen peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top.
-
Return to the cookie sheet, remove and discard the toothpicks, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Enjoy!
