Peanut Butter Balls/Cups
2 lb. peanut butter, smooth or chunky
1 lb. butter or margarine
3 lbs. powdered sugar.
Dipping chocolate
Combine peanut butter, butter and powdered sugar. Mix well. Shape into desired shapes.
To make peanut butter cups you will need to purchase peanut butter cup shaped molds. Line bottom and sides of mold with melted chocolate; allow to harden. Press small amount of peanut butter mixture into cups, leaving a small amount of chocolate on the sides of the mold exposed. Pour melted chocolate over all to fill cup. Allow to set up before removing from mold.
For peanut butter balls, roll mixture into small balls and dip in chocolate. Set on waxed paper to cool.
Final Comments: This recipe makes almost a ***zillion*** peanut butter balls! Could be cut in half.
