• unsalted butter4 oz
• peanut butter¾ lb
• powdered sugar1 lb
• chocolate chips1 cup

Instructions

1. 1

   Mix butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar until well blended.

2. 2

   More or less powdered sugar can be used to make mixture more or less dry.

3. 3

   Make 1 inch balls and freeze for about 20 minutes or until firm.

4. 4

   Microwave chocolate chips for 60 seconds, stopping every 15 seconds to check and stir.

5. 5

   Adding some vegetable shortening can make the chocolate thinner and easier work with.

6. 6

   Remove balls from freezer and dip most of the way into the chocolate, coating all but a small circle on top.

7. 7

   Using a toothpick for this works well but simply dipping it in and pulling it out with a fork also works.
