Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter (1/4 cup) and peanut butter (1/2 cup) using a hand mixer until creamy and completely smooth, about 2 minutes.
Add erythritol (1/2 cup), vanilla (1/2 teaspoon), salt (1/2 teaspoon) and peanut flour (1/2 cup). Beat for about 2 minutes, until everything is combined. The ingredients will look soft yet crumbly, we'll use the warmth from our hands to bring everything together.
Roll the mixture into 1" balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Continue until you've formed 21 balls. If the "dough" is too soft to form, place in the fridge until you can.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.
A few minutes before they're done, melt chocolate (1/2 cup) and coconut oil (1 tablespoon) together in the microwave using 30-second intervals at 50% power.
Dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate, then return them to your baking sheet, and place the baking sheet back in the freezer until the chocolate has hardened - about 10 minutes.
Store in the fridge/freezer, and enjoy!

Chocolate. I love Lily's chocolate chips for this (they make dark, semi-sweet, and milk) but you can always make your own low carb chocolate by following my recipe!
Peanut flour should only contain defatted peanuts and salt and is a different product than peanut butter powder (which is often sweetened with sugar). Each brand defats the peanuts in varying amounts, I prefer Protein Plus Peanut Flour!
Peanut Butter often contains added sugar. Read labels carefully before purchasing -- I love Justin's or Trader Joe's brand.
Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
Powdered Erythritol. Don't have any laying around? Toss your granular erythritol in a food processor and process until powdered. Allow the dust to settle before opening the lid!
Nutritional information was calculated using Lily's Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips and includes 1.75g of erythritol per ball -- each PB ball has 1.25g of net carbs if you make 21 balls from this recipe:
