December 2018

Happy Birthday Theresa!  Theresa is not only celebrating her own birthday this month, she has the very special pleasure of also being able to celebrate her mom’s birthday with her in person this year for the first time in 29 years!  Cooking and baking is one of Theresa’s many talents.  Her peanut butter balls are a holiday favorite.  Here’s her recipe if you’d like to give it a try!

 

CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (substitute other nut butters, if needed)
  • 3 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 1 cup+ powdered sugar
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Mix peanut butter and butter together in a mixing bowl. Gradually stir in powdered sugar until combined well into a dough ball. If needed, add more powdered sugar a little at a time until mixture holds together in a large ball. Cover and let peanut butter dough sit for about 15 minutes to firm up, or cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to form balls.
  2. Shape into 1-inch balls, place on a baking sheet, cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow to firm up. Dough balls should hold shape before dipping in chocolate. Add more refrigeration time if necessary.
  3. Melt chocolate according to package instructions.
  4. Dip peanut butter balls one at a time into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper lined baking sheet, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
