Ingredients

  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 12 ounces candy melts or almond bark I used chocolate almond bark and pink and white candy melts
  • holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Slowly melt butter in a sauce pan.

  2. Add peanut butter and powdered sugar and stir to combine well.

  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool a bit.

  4. Roll peanut butter mixture into balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. (parchment paper is not necessary if you do not have it)

  5. Place the peanut butter balls in the refrigerator and allow to set.

  6. Remove peanut butter balls and re-roll them in your hands to smooth them out. Put them back in the refrigerator.

  7. Melt your chocolate as directed on the package (mine said to melt in the microwave on defrost for 1 minute-mine took less than 1 minute). Make sure to stir frequently. The chocolate almond bark and the candy melts set up pretty quickly. Melt one color at a time (I melted the chocolate first and used it, then melted the white and used it, and later the pink) and dip as I stated above in the post.

  8. Remove a few peanut butter balls at a time. Dip and decorate, if using sprinkles. Then, remove more peanut butter balls and repeat. If you are using candy melts to decorate, do that after you have dipped them all-like the ones I put strips of chocolate on. For the heart, I made it with a frosting bag and tip-draw (with the melted candy melts-and let set up on parchment paper) Then, transferred it to a just dipped peanut butter ball.

  9. Enjoy!
