Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Christmas Balls

Smooth & Creamy peanut butter covered in Wilburs awesome Chocolate! These are perfect for the holidays! Great to eat & great to give as a gift! ENJOY !


4 Cups Creamy Peanut Butter ( I used Jif)
1 Cup Butter Softened ( I used salted it taste better)
2 TSP Vanilla
2 to 4 TBS Evaporated Milk
32 OZ Bag of Powdered Sugar MINUS 1 CUP
FOR Coating, use 4 pounds Wilbur Coating Milk Chocolate Wafers OR your favorite Chocolate
Sprinkles to decorate if you wish!

In food processor or mixer cream the softened butter. Add the peanut butter & beat well. Add vanilla , 2 TBS of the milk & beat well. Add some of the sugar about 2 cups at a time. Keep beating & adding more sugar until it is completely blended. If it is to thick beat in more milk but do not let it get to soft. Once all the ingredients are blended & creamy turn off processor. On large cookie sheet covered with wax paper drop eggs that you form by taking heaping tablespoons of your mixture & shape them into ball shapes. Chill on the sheets overnight. 

Now in your slow cooker on LOW melt the chocolate stirring every 15 minutes or so! Use a fork & spoon to lower each peanut butter ball at a time into the chocolate coating well! Carefully lift out letting extra chocolate drain off! Place on racks or wax paper to harden decorating with sprinkles if using them. Let cool until chocolate hardens then store in an airtight container with wax paper between layers. Store in a cool place! ENJOY! Makes about 4 dozen candies!
