Peanut butter balls are certainly far from fancy,
and they most definitely are NOT a health food,
but they are one of the most highly anticipated treats in our house.
My mom always made them for the holidays,
and we looked forward to them so much, that as soon as I had a family of my own, I began making them myself.
Charlie starts mentioning them in September or October.
They really are that good.
Chocolate and peanut butter…
how can they NOT be.
Christmas may be behind us, but until my New Years cleanse, I’m going to indulge just a few days longer.
Enjoy!
Peanut Butter Balls
4 cups of peanut butter
1 cup of butter
2 lbs of powdered sugar
1/2 tsp salt
combine together, roll into balls, and chill
{they coat much easier when cold}
Melt a bag of chocolate chips
{I add just a few drops of vegetable oil}
dip each ball in chocolate and chill until hardened
They are so easy to make, I’m not sure why I wait all year for them:)
About Heather @French Press
I would be eating these every day up until my diet resolution on the first, and then about a week after that since I’ll inevitably give up. These look incredible!
that’s me exactly! I’d LOVE for you to join me in the 28 day cleanse:)maybe we can keep the other from cheating
These look so yummy. Chocolate and peanut butter is my weakness. I would def be eating these all day, every day. Then I would probably want to make more haha
they are VERY dangerous to have around!
Yum! Chocolate and peanut butter…definitely awesome.
That recipe makes a lot of balls!
i LOVE how easy peanut butter balls are to make!!! Can you really go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate? I think not! A simple, yet decadent little treat. Problem is…. I can never just eat one!
I need to do a cleanse too…can I just eat these instead?
I love peanut butter and chocolate balls!!!
Your peanut butter balls look wonderful!
