In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla. The mixture should be easy to roll into balls that stay together while not being sticky. If it is sticky, add just a little more powdered sugar. If it won't form into a ball, add just a little more peanut butter.
1 cup creamy peanut butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Roll the peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls.
Dip the balls into the melted candy melts. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet to harden.
14 ounces chocolate candy melts
If you would like to top these, melt some peanut butter chips. Once melted, scoop it into a plastic zip lock bag. Cut a tiny hole in one of the corners and use that to pipe it over the top of the peanut butters (once the chocolate has set).
1/2 cup peanut butter chips
Store in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. These also freeze very well
