1-18 oz. jar of smooth peanut buter
1 - 16 oz. bag of confectioners sugar
1/4 c. butter, melted
chocolate almond bark
or
chocolate candy melts
or
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips & 2 tsp. shortening
In a large bowl, stir together the peanut butter, confectioners sugar and melted butter until the mixture is crumbly.
Using your hands, mix everything together until smooth.
Roll the peanut butter filling into 1 inch balls, place on aluminum foil lined baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet in the freezer for approximately 7 minutes to chill.
Melt your chocolate in the microwave (using microwave safe bowl). Microwave in 30 second intervals until smooth. Be sure to use a bowl deep enough for dipping the peanut butter balls.
Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Insert a toothpick into a peanut butter ball and then dip it into the chocolate, turning quickly to cover the entire candy. Place onto a second baking tray that has also been lined with foil. Refrigerate until the chocolate has completely dried.
Store in sealed container in the fridge.
