Ingredients
  

1 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup powdered sugar, sifted

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 tablespoon coconut oil (for chocolate coating)

A pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions
 

Make the Peanut Butter Base:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended.

      Incorporate the Powdered Sugar:

        - Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture, stirring well until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.

          Form the Rounds:

            - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, portion out the peanut butter mixture and roll it into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball.

              Freeze the Rounds:

                - Place the baking sheet in the freezer and freeze the peanut butter rounds for about 30 minutes, until firm.

                  Melt the Chocolate:

                    - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

                      Coat the Rounds:

                        - Remove the frozen peanut butter rounds from the freezer. Dip each round into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off and place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

                          Swirl for Aesthetic (Optional):

                            - For a pretty presentation, create a swirl effect by drizzling leftover melted chocolate over the coated rounds with a fork.

                              Final Freeze:

                                - Return the coated rounds to the freezer for at least 15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.

                                  Serve & Enjoy:

                                    - Once the chocolate is firm, remove the rounds from the freezer and sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt if desired. Enjoy your frozen chocolate peanut butter swirl rounds straight from the freezer!
