Peanut Butter Balls


Disclaimer: despite the fact these are absolutely crave worthy, they'll kill you if you aren't careful!


Ingredients

4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups peanut butter
(recommend Adam's Natural Peanut Butter)
1 package chocolate chips
wax paper

Directions
(FYI: I halved the recipe and still filled up a cookie sheet and a half).

Combine confectioners' sugar, butter, and peanut butter in a bowl and mix together until smooth. Place in the refridgerator for a few minutes. This allows the dough to set a little, helping to make rolling into small balls much easier. Take out a cookie sheet and line with wax paper. Roll small balls, whatever size fits you best, and place on the wax paper. Once it's filled, put it in the freezer for about thirty minutes to an hour. Meanwhile, slowly melt your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl beginning with 1 minute, then alternate stirring and cooking every 12 seconds until the chocolate is liquified.  Pull out your balls, and dip the ball into the chocolate, knocking off any extra on the sides. Place your plan back in the fridge or freezer until ready to serve! 
 I froze the extras and put them in a ziploc bag.
