Sweet balls that will delight both young and old. The preparation is extremely simple and fun.

In a pot, add peanut butter, butter, and salt. Place the pot on the stove and cook over moderate heat while continuously stirring until both butters melt. Be careful not to let the mixture start to foam. Then remove the pot from the heat and mix in the vanilla aroma.
Slowly add powdered sugar and mix. Once all the sugar is used, continue mixing for a while to form a firm dough. Shape the cooled dough into balls approximately 2.5 cm in size. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place all the balls on it. Place the tray in the refrigerator for 1 hour to let the balls set.
Just before taking the balls out of the refrigerator, prepare the chocolate coating. Coarsely chop the chocolate and place it in a metal bowl along with the butter. Then place a pot with about 1/3 of water on the stove. Place the bowl with the chocolate and butter on top of the pot and stir until the chocolate and butter melt and combine into a liquid coating. Then remove the pot from the heat and take the balls out of the refrigerator.
Dip each ball individually into the chocolate coating and then use a spoon to remove it from the coating. Place the ball back on the parchment paper. Repeat the process until all the balls are coated. Then place everything back in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to let the chocolate coating fully set.
Arrange the prepared and cooled balls on a serving platter and serve.

The balls can be stored in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
