My family has been making these just like this for years!! Same exact recipe! Most "peanut butter balls" recipes have Rice Krispies in them... and that is not my thing! We make 6 batches (at least!!!) each holiday and they're always gone sooooo quickly. Delicious and perfect tasting. Always a hit!

What's to say??! These are little balls of peanut butter and chocolate heaven, plain and simple. I used Ghirardelli Bittersweet chocolate to coat them. Very easy to make as they go together so quickly. Hmm, that could be dangerous....LOL.<br/>Made for PAC Spring 2011.
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
<p>I absolutely love to bake. I try new recipes all the time. <br /> <br />I live in Michigan & enjoy it in the Spring, Summer, & Fall. I'm not a fan of the Winter (after New Year's I'm ready for Spring). <br /> <br />I love being outside in the warmer months (hiking, walking, camping). I also like movies, football and reading a good book. <br /> <br />My favorite cookbook is Better Homes and Gardens - I've had it for years and use it a lot (some pages are so dirty you can hardly read them and the book is falling apart). <br /> <br />I try to eat healthy and stay in shape but just like everyone I have my slip-ups & sweets are my weakness.</p>
