peanut butter balls

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2  cups powdered sugar
1   cup creamy peanut butter
5   tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2  teaspoon vanilla
2   cups chocolate candy melts 
Valentine sprinkles

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large mixing bowl beat powdered sugar, peanut butter, butter, and vanilla with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Transfer balls to a waxed-paper-lined cookie sheet. Cover with waxed paper and chill until firm, about 1 hour.
2. Place candy melts in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute or until melted and smooth, stirring twice. Use a fork to dip chilled peanut butter balls, one at a time, into melted chocolate to coat, allowing excess to drip off into bowl. Place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheets. Immediately top with sprinkles before chocolate sets.
