PEANUT BUTTER SNOWBALLS
This recipe for peanut butter ball cookies is a nice change from the typical milk chocolate and peanut butter combination. I once prepared them for a bake sale at my granddaughter's school, and I've also put them in gift boxes to share with neighbors at Christmas. -Wanda Regula, Birmingham, Michigan

PEANUT BUTTER SNOWBALLS
After reading the last two reviews, I checked the ingredients. I made a mistake in the amount of powdered sugar. I did correct it.These cookies are fantastic for any occasion. My aunt tinted the coconut different pastel colors for her daughters wedding. This is my Aunts recipe. It has been in the family for more that 40 years. These also freeze well. I'm not sure how many cookies this recipe makes but I will guess on the amount. We use Jiff extra crunchy.

PEANUT BUTTER SNOWBALLS
Steps:
- 1. Combine sugar, peanut butter and butter in a bowl and mix well. Shape into 1-inch balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill until firm.
- 2. Melt almond bark in microwave, double boiler or slow cooker. Dip balls in almond bark and place on wax paper to harden.
- 3. NOTE: When using 1 package of almond bark like the recipe states, for me there is enough to make two batches of the snowballs plus have some left over to coat pretzels.
Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter. This will make the snowballs smooth and creamy.
- Chill the dough before forming the snowballs. This will help the snowballs hold their shape.
- Use a small cookie scoop to form the snowballs. This will help ensure that the snowballs are all the same size.
- Roll the snowballs in powdered sugar until they are completely coated. This will give the snowballs a classic snowball look.
- Store the snowballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Peanut butter snowballs are a delicious and festive holiday treat. They are easy to make and can be stored for up to 2 weeks. With their simple ingredients and classic snowball look, peanut butter snowballs are sure to be a hit with family and friends.
