PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Peanut butter and chocolate are a perfect pairing--and these sweet and salty peanut butter balls covered in bittersweet chocolate are sure to satisfy your craving. Make sure the balls are chilled and firm before rolling them in the chocolate. It will ensure that they do not fall apart and helps the chocolate set faster. If the chocolate thickens while you are dipping the balls, just pop it back in the microwave for 20 seconds and stir until smooth.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
This is a recipe that my mom used to make at Christmas. She always played ingredients by ear, so the measurements are approximate. These are chocolate coated peanut butter balls and are very sweet and addictive. They also taste very good without the chocolate coating for those that aren't into chocolate. (prep time includes rolling time and dip time and if a smaller batch is made then it can be drastically decreased)
