Peanut Butter Balls

Yummy Peanut Butter Balls



I LOVE this recipe because the peanut butter balls don't have a lot of extra sugar refined sugar!  Plus, the recipe is easy enough that my 5 year old was able to help with the majority of the process!

Ingredients:
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
2/3 cup Honey
2 cups Powdered Milk
2 cups Melting Chocolate or Chocolate Chips
2 tsp Oil (I used Olive)

Directions:
First, combine peanut butter, honey, and powdered milk together to make the dough.  Roll dough into 1" balls (or whatever size you want!)  
Put chocolate and oil into a microwavable bowl and microwave for 45 seconds, stir, microwave another 30 seconds, stir, and then microwave at 20 second intervals until melted completely.  Be careful not to overcook because your chocolate will get thick and lumpy.
Next, dip balls into chocolate and place onto wax paper or parchment paper.  I put decorating pearls on mine, but you can obviously make them without.  Last, put them in the refrigerator until chocolate hardens. Enjoy!
