Peanut Butter Balls
Ingredients:
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3 3/4 cup powdered sugar
2 1lb packages of White Chocolate or Chocolate
Directions:
Mix the peanut butter and vanilla together in a large bowl.
After they are well mixed together, add in the powdered sugar, a little at a time. You may need to add a bit more or a bit less powered sugar. You have enough powered sugar when the mixture holds together well in one giant ball in your mixing bowl.
Shape the dough into 1-inch balls.Cover and refrigerate again, for about 15 - 20 minutes. Skipping this step makes the dough very hard to dip into the chocolate.
Melt the chocolate according to the package directions. ( i used chocolate chips and melted them in the microwave.)
Dip the peanut butter balls one at a time into the melted chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off, as the chocolate will pool a little when you set it down. Place the dipped peanut butter chocolate ball onto wax paper and let it harden.
Chill until ready to serve. Also chill them a little before packaging them up for gifts.
