Categories     Nuts

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

(1) 18oz jar(s) of smooth or chunky peanut buter - i prefer smooth
(1) 16oz bag(s) of confectioners sugar
1/4 c butter, melted
chocolate almond bark or
chocolate candy melts or
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, confectioners sugar and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly. For the next step, the best way that I've found to make a smooth filling is to use your hands to mix everything together.
  • 2. Line a baking sheet with foil. Roll the peanut butter filling into 1 inch balls and line the baking sheet with rows of the balls. Set the baking sheet in the freezer for 5-7 minutes to chill the peanut butter balls for easier dipping.
  • 3. While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl that is deep enough for dipping. I melted 6 blocks of chocolate almond bark at a time, stirring at 45 second intervals until smooth.
  • 4. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Insert a toothpick or wooden skewer into a peanut butter ball and then dip it into the chocolate, turning quickly to cover the entire candy.
  • 5. Place onto a second baking tray that has also been lined with foil. Swirl the chocolate on the top of each candy for a pretty design. Refrigerate until the chocolate had completely dried. Store the candies in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups creamy peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons butter
4 cups Rice Krispies
1 (23-ounce) bag chocolate chips
4 tablespoons vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Mix everything together and roll into balls and place on wax paper. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes. While peanut butter mixture is chilling, melt chocolate: 23 ounce bag of milk chocolate chips melted with 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening or chocolate melting chips. If using chocolate chips then you will need to place the balls in the fridge to set up. If using chocolate candy coating then they should set up at room temp. Cover balls with chocolate. Makes approximately 4 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
  • Chill the peanut butter balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate to help them hold their shape.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready.
  • To make the chocolate balls even more festive, roll them in sprinkles, chopped nuts, or crushed candy canes.
  • Store the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
