What A Reese's Peanutbutter Cup Wants to Be!

 Peanutbutter Balls

These delicious poppable bites of peanutbutter and chocolatey goodness will disappear from your fridge within days! This is a family recipe that has been keeping everyone happy around the holidays for years. This time around I made them for my friends Krissia and Ana-needless to say the treats won't be around for long.

For this recipe you will need powdered sugar, peanutbutter, a stick of butter, and melting chocolate from the store. ( I used candiquick this time. The original recipe calls for chocolate chips and paraffin wax in a double boiler, but the store bought chocolate is a nice time saver!)

1 stick of butter
1 cup of peanutbutter
1 cup of powdered sugar (half of the typical box)
Melting chocolate I use about 2/3 of what is in the package

First melt your butter in a large bowl

After the butter is melted, mix in a cup of peanutbutter.

Now add about a half a box of powdered sugar, or just until it comes together pretty well. You will want it to come together enough so that you can roll it easily. I like to do the half of a box and then put the mixture into the fridge so it becomes firm.

Now roll out your peanutbutter balls. I like to have either a piece of wax paper or a piece of tin foil sprayed with non stick spray.

Melt your chocolate. Make sure to stir it between the microwave times and not leave in the chocolate for longer than 30 second intervals. You don't want to burn your chocolate.

Once the chocolate is melted you can use a toothpick to dip your peanutbutter balls in the chocolate.

The peanutbutter bowl got some attention from my friends haha

After dipping all the balls in chocolate, and licking the mixing forks a few times haha, put the candies in the fridge so that the chocolate can harden. Keep the peanutbutter balls refrigerated. ENJOY!

These really are oh soo good!

 Happy Baking!
