Butter, chocolate bark, peanut butter, and sugar! You are so in for a treat! Try this recipe. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter – softened
16 ounces of chocolate bark
1 c creamy peanut butter – avoid natural peanut butter with oils
2 c powdered sugar
Directions:
Add butter and peanut butter into a mixing bowl. Beat a few times until well blended.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, then beat every addition until well incorporated.
Wrap the bowl with plastic, then place it in the fridge to chill for a few hours.
Form small balls out of the mixture and arrange them in a single layer on a cookie sheet. Use a scoop for this step. Put them in the freezer to chill while you prepare the rest of the ingredients.
In a pan with water, put a heat-proof bowl in the middle. Add the chocolate bark to the bowl. Place the pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Let the chocolate melt. Stir until smooth.
Place the peanut butter balls at room temperature, then dip each into the melted chocolate. Make sure to coat each well.
Place the Peanut Butter Balls onto wax paper, then allow them to set for a couple of minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge or at room temperature. These Peanut Butter Balls are best-served warm or chilled.
