Christmas Peanut Butter Coconut Cherry Balls image

Lynelle's mom knew what she was doing when she made this recipe. It's not your standard chocolate peanut butter ball recipe. It's so much more decadent. The peanut butter filling is smooth, creamy and just melts in your mouth. Maraschino cherries add a lovely cherry flavor while the coconut gives a bit of crunch to every bite....

Categories     Chocolate

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

BALLS
1 stick butter (softened)
1 1/3 c peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
4 c powdered sugar
24 maraschino cherries (chopped fine)
2 c coconut
DIPPING CHOCOLATE
6 oz chocolate chips (milk, semi-sweet or dark, your choice)
6 Tbsp paraffin

Steps:

  • 1. Using a mixer, combine butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, maraschino cherries, and coconut.
  • 2. Roll in very small balls.
  • 3. Put in freezer for several hours or preferably overnight.
  • 4. Melt in a double boiler 6 oz chocolate chips and 6 tbsp paraffin.
  • 5. Dip frozen balls in and drain over waxed paper on a rack.
  • 6. Can double dip if you want. I usually double the cherry mixture and the chips mixture making enough for dipping a double batch. Enjoy!

Overall, I thought these balls were just okay. I probably won't make them again.

The balls were a little too firm. I would let them soften at room temperature for a bit before serving.

The balls were a little dry. I would add more milk or cream next time.

These balls are a little too sweet for my taste. I would cut the sugar in half next time.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these balls. The peanut butter and cherry flavors really shine through.
