Prep:

15 Min

Method:

Microwave

Ingredients

1 - 10 oz: bag of reeses peanut butter chips
1/2 c: butter, softened
1/4 c: whipping cream
1 tsp: vanilla
3 - 3 1/2 c: confectioners' sugar
1 - 10 oz: package semi sweet chocolate chips
2 Tbsp: plus 2 teaspoons shortening

Step-By-Step

1Gather ingredients..Place wax paper in baking pan. I used a jelly roll pan.

Ps: These peanut butter balls must chill for 2 hours, then another 30 minutes before coating in chocolate.

2In a large bowl; melt peanut butter chips in the microwave for 30 second to 1 minute. Stir till smooth.

3Add butter, cream, vanilla..stir till smooth. Slowly add sugar till holds its shape. About 3 cups. It will be stiff like dough.

4Cover and refrigerate 2 hours. Roll into 1 inch balls; place on wax paper covered tray. Refrigerate another 30 minutes.

5In another bowl; melt chocolate chips with shortening in microwave 30 to 60 seconds. Stir till smooth.

6Dip the balls in chocolate. You can roll or sprinkle with nuts, cookie crumbs, candy sprinkles.. I ground walnuts fine in my food processor. Or you can just leave as is.
