Steps:
- 1. In a large microwave safe mixing bowl, combine butter and peanut butter. Melt in the microwave for about 2 minutes or until butter and peanut butter is combined. Stir the mixture a few times during the microwaving process.
- 2. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in the powdered sugar. You may need to use your hands to thoroughly incorporate it.
- 3. Roll the mixture into small balls while mixture is still warm. If mixture becomes too crumbly, put the bowl back into the microwave and warm it up some more.
- 4. Place balls on 2 cookie sheets lined with wax paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm the up, or you can set them in the freezer too.
- 5. Dip peanut butter balls into chocolate coating.
- 6. Chocolate Coating:
- 7. Melt all coating ingredients in a small mixing bowl in the microwave just until melted; stirring often.
- 8. Put the bowl of melted chocolate on top of a small saucepan filled with a little bit of water on low heat. This will keep your chocolate warm. (If you have a double boiler, you can use that instead of melting the chocolate and bark in the microwave)
- 9. Using a tooth pick, dip peanut butter balls in the chocolate mixture and then gently tap off the excess chocolate.
- 10. Place ball back on cookie sheet and twist the toothpick gently to pull it out. Using the toothpick, swirl the chocolate a bit over the tooth pick hole to cover it.
- 11. Chill to set the chocolate. Store the candy in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. These also freeze well.
