No-Cook Snowballs

AngelaTN's Note:

With all the Snowball recipes on here, I was shocked to see that this one wasn't. This is a super quick and easy recipe that even the youngest child can help with (our 2 yr old neighbor had a grand time)! The perfect Christmas treat! This recipe came from one of the many Gooseberry Patch cookbooks.

My daughter and I made these today and they are pretty good. The directions were a little unclear with the powdered sugar. The ingredients said 1 3/4 cups and the directions said 1 lb of it, so I just used the 1 3/4 cups of it and rolled them in additional powdered sugar. Next time I think I will use less butter and more peanut butter. Over all it wass a really good recipe and will make again.
