Peanut Butter Balls

These are my husband’s favorite holiday treat! We usually make several Christmas goodies and share them with friends and family. You can also use crunchy peanut butter and white chocolate.

Ingredients

1
cup powdered sugar
1/2
cup creamy peanut butter
3
Tablespoons butter, softened
10
oz. Ghirardelli dark melting wafers

Directions

With a mixer, combine the powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter. Shape peanut butter mixture into 1 inch balls, placing them on a baking sheet covered with waxed paper. Let balls stand for 20 minutes until dry.

Melt the dipping chocolate. Drop balls one at a time in melted chocolate. Using a fork, remove from the chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off. Place back on the waxed paper. Let stand until dry.

Store peanut butter balls covered in a cool dry place.
