Peanut Butter Balls

These our one of my favorite treats! Christmas is not Christmas without some of these little goodies. My grandmother made these along with many other goodies every single year for us to enjoy. I took some of these to the Christmas party for my son's horseback riding farm and was so glad I had some stashed because there were none left!





2 cups Powdered Sugar
1 cup creamy Peanut Butter
6 Tablespoons Butter (or Margarine)
3 cups Milk Chocolate morsels

Stir together powdered sugar, peanut butter and butter until smooth. Shape 1 inch balls and place on waxed paper. Allow the balls to dry about 20 minutes before dipping. Melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds then stir; repeat until smooth. Drop in a few balls at a time into the melted chocolate. Use spoon to turn over and cover, and spoon/fork to gently remove from chocolate and place on waxed paper to dry. Work quickly and reheat chocolate to keep smooth if needed. Let dry; store in airtight container in cool, dry place.
