Peanut Butter Balls

Peanut Butter Balls (12/18/10)

This are a Christmas tradition in Mike's family, so we couldn't have our baking day without making these!

You will need:

2 cups butter

2 cups peanut butter (Smooth or chunky)

3 ounces cream cheese, softened

3 pounds powdered sugar

12 ounces chocolate chips

1/2 bar cooking wax

1. Whip butter.

2. Add cream cheese and peanut butter.

3. Slowly add powdered sugar. The mixture will become stiff to mix, so knead with your hands if necessary.

4. Chill until workable.

5. Form into 1/2 inch balls.

6. Chill again. (Only needs about 30 minutes this time)

7. Melt chocolate chips and wax in a saucepan over medium heat.

8. Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate and place on cookie sheet until set.
