This is my daughter's recipe. She loves Reese's peanut butter cups - so this is right up her alley. Since I haven't made these, I'm not sure of the quantity - so it's sort of a guess on my part. Ingredients:
2 (3 ounce) packages of softened cream cheese (reduced fat cream cheese works great) |
1 tablespoon milk |
4 cups confectioners' sugar |
1/3 cup cocoa powder |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup finely chopped peanuts (optional) |
1 (10 ounce) package of reese's peanut butter chips |
1/4 cup shortening |
Directions:
1. In large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and milk until fluffy. Add sugar, cocoa and vanilla; blend well. Stir in nuts if desired.
2. Form into bite-size balls and chill, covered for a few hours.
3. For topping, melt topping ingredients in a bowl in microwave on high for 1-2 minutes. Stir until mixture is smooth.
4. Dip balls into topping and set on wax paper. After coating has set, place bonbons in an airtight container in refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
