Chocolate Peanut
Butter Balls
Ingredients for 6 balls ·
½ cup melted
butter (114 g), melted
1 ½ cups peanut
butter (360 g)
2 ½ cups powdered
sugar (400 g)
1 cup chocolate
chips (175 g), enough for dipping
Cookin method: Mix butter,
peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended. More or less powdered
sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry.
Make 1 inch balls
and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.
Microwave
chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir.
Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work
with.
Remove balls from
freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small
circle on top. Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in
and pulling it out with a fork also works. Place completed buckeyes on wax
paper and allow to harden. Refrigerate if needed.
Enjoy!
