I got this recipe out of a Better Homes and Gardens magazine many years ago. Always a hit with the kids or when we take them to Halloween gatherings or work. Cook time is drying time for the peanut butter balls/melting time for the candy coating Ingredients:
1/2 cup peanut butter |
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup sifted powdered sugar |
20 m&m's plain chocolate candy |
4 ounces vanilla candy coating |
red decorating gel |
black decorating gel |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl stir together peanut butter and butter.
2. Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until combined.
3. Shape into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper.
4. Let stand about 20 minutes until dry.
5. In a small sauce pan melt candy coating over low heat.
6. Dip balls, one at a time, into coating.
7. Let excess coating drip off peanut butter balls.
8. Place on waxed paper.
9. Immediately press an M&M into center of each peanut butter ball.
10. Let stand until coating is firm.
11. Add a dot of black gel to the center of candy pieces for pupils.
12. Drizzle red gel onto balls for bloodshot eyes.
