- 1½ cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla essence
- 250 g milk chocolate or compound chocolate

- Chill: Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Melt chocolate: Melt chocolate in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time. Mix in coconut oil if needed.
- Coat: Dip each ball into melted chocolate, cover completely, and lift out with a fork.
- Set: Place on baking paper and refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- For a softer, fudge-like center, add 1–2 tbsp extra peanut butter.
- For a firmer center, add more powdered sugar.
