1 pound butter, softened
2 pounds peanut butter
About 2 1/2 to 3 pounds powdered sugar
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
2 ounces paraffin (I just left this out and it was fine--you can also use dipping chocolate instead of the chocolate chips if you prefer)
Mix first 3 ingredients together and form into 1 inch balls. Let harden a bit in the fridge or freezer. When you are ready to dip the peanut butter balls, remove from freezer. Melt the chocolate chips and paraffin together in a double boiler or the microwave. With a toothpick, dip peanut butter balls in chocolate to coat, leaving about a dime sized spot on top exposed like a Buckeye. Let harden on waxed paper. Store in refrigerator or freezer.
do you have a trick to keep them from falling off the toothpick while you're dipping them? I love these but always lose them or break them when dipping in the chocolate.
ReplyDeleteMy family would love these!
ReplyDeleteI found that the frozen peanut butter balls held onto the toothpick better than ones that had thawed. One the peanut butter mixture kind of warmed up I lost some of them while dipping them as well. I just had a fork nearby to "rescue" those that fell in. I hope that helps! :)
