Then, remove it from the microwave and give it a stir.

Place your chocolate back into the microwave and heat it in 15-second intervals.

Stir thoroughly and scrape the sides of the bowl each time until the chocolate melts.

Begin to check the temperature once your chocolate comes off as about 50% melted.

Keep the temperature between 87F and 91F.

Once the chocolate is tempered, remove the peanut butter balls from the fridge.

Dip the bottoms of the balls and then drizzle the tops until the entire ball is chocolate coated.

Carefully slide the coated balls onto the wax paper sheet.

Repeat with the remaining balls while monitoring the chocolate temperature.

When done, allow the chocolate to set and harden.

Finally, savor every sweet and buttery bite!

Store the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge.
