Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy

Peanut Butter Chocolate Balls

2-3 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
2-3 squares unsweetened baking chocolate

6 cups confectioners sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter
2 cups smooth or chunky peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a medium bowl mix together sugar, butter, peanut butter and vanilla. Dough will be loose. Form 1-2 inch balls from the dough. Refrigerate balls for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

In a double boiler melt semi sweet and unsweetened chocolate. Dip balls in chocolate with a tooth pick.  Set on wax paper to cool. Let stand for an hour and store in air tight container.

If you want to roll the chocolate in chopped pecans or finely chopped walnuts it is delicious. Just dip candy into melted chocolate, let cool slightly, roll in chopped nuts……Stand on wax paper until dry.
