1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar |
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 tablespoons shortening |
Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and confectioners' sugar with hands to form a smooth stiff dough. Shape into balls using 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball. Place on prepared pan, and refrigerate.
3. Melt shortening and chocolate together in a metal bowl over a pan of lightly simmering water. Stir occasionally until smooth, and remove from heat.
