Chocolate Covered Peanut-butter Balls

This is a crazy yummie treat, its great as a special holiday dessert/snack. I was asked to do a blog on deserts, this is one of my favorites! Any time of the year this is a wonderful treat for everyone! Special thanks to my friend Scott for this! He gave it to me about a year ago and it's been a big hit with everyone ever since!

Ingredients:
  • 1lb bag of powdered sugar
  • 16oz jar of creamy peanut-butter
  • 1 stick melted butter
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 (13 oz each) bags of chocolate chips (i preferr milk chocolate but it's up to you)
You'll also need a double boiler, but if you don't have one, don't worry because I have a special tip to use instead!

Steps:

Mix the sugar, butter, vanilla, and peanut-butter well, until creamy. The sugar will try to clump up so just do your best.



Next you're going to use your double boiler to melt the chocolate. If you don't have one, use a glass pie plate sitting on to of a pot of boiling water, or some sort of glass or ceramic dish. Just place it on tops and pour in about half a bag of chocolate chips. Don't add all the chips at once because you really do need it later.



Using the drop spoon method or an ice cream scoop or something, make peanutbutter balls and roll into the melted chocolate. Then place on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper.

Melt more chocolate as needed and repeat.

Remember to roll quickly or the heat will melt the peanut-butter.



When you're all down place cookie sheet in the freezer or fridge to cool for about an hour, then.. ENJOY!!!


Who will like this: CHILDREN: Kids will LOVE IT! Its fun and messy to make, and it's small enough to fit into their hands as you give them one and send them one their way happy.
