Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls Recipe

I have such an easy and delicious recipe to share with you today – Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls Recipe! These are so delicious – they are just like mini Reese’s peanut butter cups, but in ball form. They melt in your mouth. They are that good.

Serves: 50

INGREDIENTS

1-1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups powdered sugar
12 oz bag of chocolate chips
2 tablespoons shortening

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
2. Mix peanut butter, butter and vanilla together in a large bowl.
3. Slowly add one cup of powdered sugar to the creamy mixture, mixing well each time. *Note -- I do not sift my powdered sugar! I just scoop out 1 cup full and dump it in my bowl.*
4. By the time you get to the third cup of powdered sugar, the mixture will become very difficult to stir with a spoon. Take your rings off and start mixing with your hands.
5. Once all of the powdered sugar is incorporated into the peanut butter mixture, you can start making your balls. Simply pinch off a small amount and roll between your hands to form a small ball. Place the peanut butter balls on the prepared cookie sheet with waxed paper.
6. Visit Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Balls @ eatingonadime.com for full instructions.
