No-bake peanut butter treats with chocolate coating..... mmmmmmm
The holidays are THE time for baking, and kids wanna be part of the foodie fun. Here is a quick and easy recipe to whip up some holiday cheer. After all, November is National Peanut Butter Month... yea!
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Peanut Butter
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1-1/4 cups semisweet chocolate morsels (1-1/4 cups = 7-1/2 oz)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Directions
- Blend
peanut butter, butter, salt, and confectioner's sugar together in a
medium bowl with an electric mixer on low speed. Mixture will be stiff.
Line sheet pan with wax paper. Roll peanut butter mixture into small,
bite-size balls, about 3/4-inch round. Refrigerate until set, about 30
minutes.
- Place morsels and shortening in top of double boiler
with simmering water in the bottom. Melt ingredients over medium-low
heat; blend well. Remove from heat.
- Insert wooden pick into top
of chilled peanut butter ball. Dip into melted chocolate, leaving only
the top 1/4 of peanut butter ball uncovered for typical "buckeye"
appearance. Place coated side on prepared sheet pan. Repeat until all
pieces are coated. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
Place in airtight container; keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
