Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• Lollipop sticks
• Sprinkles (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide to Making These Treats

In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients are smooth and well blended.

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball, ensuring it is secure.

Place the lollipops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for 30 minutes to firm up. While they chill, prepare the chocolate coating.

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

Dip each peanut butter lollipop into the melted chocolate. Let any excess chocolate drip off and, if desired, sprinkle them with sprinkles before the chocolate sets.

Return the dipped lollipops to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate them for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens.

How to Store and Enjoy Later

Store the lollipops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For best results, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.

If gifting, wrap each lollipop individually in plastic wrap or cellophane to keep them fresh.

FAQs About This Recipe

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy? Yes, but the texture of the filling will be less smooth. If you prefer a bit of crunch, this can be a great option.

What type of chocolate works best? Semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips are ideal, but milk chocolate can also be used for a sweeter taste.

Ingredient Substitutions

If you don’t have coconut oil, you can substitute it with vegetable shortening for a similar texture in the chocolate coating. For a sugar-free option, use a powdered sugar substitute in place of regular powdered sugar.
