The ULTIMATE combination of chocolate and peanut butter! Elegant and Easy! Adapted from a Baker's Chocolate pamphlet recipe. Prep time does not include chilling time. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) package semisweet baking chocolate |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1 (8 ounce) container whipped topping, thawed |
powdered sugar |
finely chopped nuts |
coconut flakes |
multi-colored candy sprinkles |
chocolate sprinkles or vanilla candy sprinkles |
cookie crumbs |
Directions:
1. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave the chocolate squares on high power for 1 minute.
2. Stir chocolate and microwave for another minute or until chocolate is melted.
3. Remove bowl from the microwave and mix in peanut butter until smooth.
4. Let the mixture sit until it has cooled to room temperature.
5. Mix in whipped topping and refrigerate for about an hour.
6. Shape the mixture into one inch balls.
7. Using a melon baller or teaspoon may make this easier.
8. Roll the balls in your choice of coatings.
9. This part is the most fun!
10. Be creative!
11. Store the balls in the refrigerator until serving or gift-giving time.
