Serves/Makes: 24
Ready in: 2-5 hrs
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate pieces
- 2 tablespoons shortening
Combine the butter, powdered sugar, and peanut butter in a bowl and mix until creamed together. Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls. If the mixture doesn't hold together, add more butter. Place the peanut butter balls on a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper and place in the refrigerator to chill for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the chocolate and shortening in the top of a double boiler over simmering (not boiling) water. Stir to combine. When the dough has chilled and the coating is melted, dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate using toothpicks. Do not completely cover the candy in chocolate, leave the top exposed. Place the dipped candy back on the baking sheet and return to the refrigerator. Let chill for one hour before serving. Remove the toothpicks from the candy and touch them up where the toothpicks were by gently smoothing the hole over with a spoon. Store the candy in the refrigerator.
