The ingredients are very simple also. These include 40 oz of peanut butter, ½ pound of butter, 2 lbs of confectioner’s powdered sugar and about a table spoon of vanilla for the main makings of the peanut ball. The covering is from 24 oz of almond bark chocolate flavored coating. This is a very easy recipe that makes about 100 eye-popping, tempting, sweet desserts.

The ½ pound of butter is melted in the microwave first in a large glass bowl. Then the 40 oz of peanut butter is put into the large bowl and then placed into the microwave just long enough to warm the peanut butter. If the peanut butter is not warm, the mixture is very hard to work. After the peanut butter and butter mixture is warm, add the tablespoon of vanilla, and start adding the powdered sugar slowly, while mixing, until the dough mixture is to the point that it can be rolled into a ball. (Note: All of the 2 lb of powdered sugar will not be used in the mixture) At this point, put some powdered sugar into another bowl and then start rolling the dough mixture into balls about the size of an English Walnut. Roll ball by ball and start putting the balls into the straight powdered sugar to coat the outside of the ball dough mixture. After coating the ball in powdered sugar, place balls on a cookie sheet that waxed paper or parchment paper have been placed to line the trays. The trays are then placed into the freezer to freeze the balls.

The Chocolate Coating Process requires some practice and some tricks. The Almond Bark Chocolate needs a double boiler to be melted. It helps to take a ring from a canning jar and place it in the middle of the bottom pan where the water is so that the top boiler pan is flat and not close to the heat. ( NOTE: FROM EXPERIENCE!!! DO NOT ADD BUTTER OR WATER TO THE ALMOND BARK CHOCOLATE!! ) Put water in the bottom pan, with the ring, barely covering the ring and bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat. Place the top pan in the bottom pan then add some chocolate. It is good to start with small chunks of chocolate, then slowly add pieces as the first one melts. To thin the chocolate, add shortening, like Crisco. The chocolate should be ready when the chocolate will coat the spoon very evenly and smoothly. The peanut butter balls have to be quickly placed into the melted chocolate coating, turned and coated then placed on the cookie sheet. Note: The peanut butter balls will melt if left in the hot melted chocolate for an extended period of time. After the cookie sheet has been filled, it can be then be placed in a cool place.
