Twelve Days of Christmas: Peanut Butter Balls

Merry Arbor Day

These babies have just four ingredients. They come together quickly and are crowd pleasers. Who doesn’t like peanut butter and chocolate? (If you’re allergic to either just don’t answer that!)

Of course, we know with the word balls in the title that some of you will have to suppress a giggle. So the video below is for you. (We’re not looking at you Tommy!)

Peanut Butter Balls

• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp butter
• 6 oz semi sweet or dark chocolate

In a large bowl, mix melted butter, sugar and peanut butter until incorporated. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Form peanut butter mix into half inch balls. Pop in the refrigerator for a few seconds while you make the chocolate. Melt the remaining butter and chocolate over low heat. Dip balls into chocolate and return to baking sheet. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set (about an hour) and ready to serve.
