Serves : 42
INGREDIENTS
  • 2-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 3/4 cup Peter Pan® Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1-1/4 1-1/4 cups = 7-1/2 oz cups semisweet chocolate morsels
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
DIRECTIONS

Blend together confectioner's sugar, peanut butter, butter and salt in medium bowl with electric mixer on low speed. Mixture will be stiff. Line large baking pan with waxed paper. Roll peanut butter mixture into small, bite-size balls, about 3/4-inch round; place on prepared baking pan. Freeze 30 minutes or until set.

In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips and shortening uncovered on High about 1 minute; stir until smooth. If necessary, microwave additional 5 seconds at a time.

Insert wooden pick into top of frozen peanut butter ball. Dip into melted chocolate, leaving only the top 1/4 of peanut butter ball uncovered for typical "buckeye" appearance. Place coated side on prepared baking pan. Repeat until all pieces are coated. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or until chocolate is set. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
