Notes

Back again by request. Perfect little peanut butter and chocolate treats. Makes about 4 dozen

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 oz white chocolate chips
• 2 3/4 cups creamy peanut butter
• 4 TBL butter, softened
• 3 cups (12 oz) powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Microwave white chocolate chips at 50% power until melted, about 1 and a half minutes. Let cool 5 minutes.
3. Beat peanut butter, melted white chocolate, butter, sugar, vanilla and salt with mixer on medium-high speed until just combined, about 1 minute.
4. Roll dough into 1 1/4 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
6. Microwave semisweet chocolate chips at 50% power in a small container until melted, about 2 minutes.
7. Dip chilled balls into melted chocolate, using a toothpick. Leave top quarter of balls uncovered. If peanut butter balls get too soft refreeze. If chocolate thickens, microwave again. Keep chocolate level deep enough to dip with ease.
8. Place balls back on prepared baking sheet.
9. Refrigerate balls until set, about 1 hour.
