FUDGE PUDDLES

Steps:

• 1. preheat oven to 325 degrees
• 2. sift together the flour, baking soda and salt
• 3. cream butter,peanut butter, white and brown sugars. mix in egg and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture. shape the dough into 48 balls, 1 inch each. place each ball into one compartment of a mini muffin tin.
• 4. bake for 14-16 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and immediately make wells in the center of each using a melon baller. cool in pan for 5 minutes then carefully remove to wire racks. using a measuring cup fill each well with the chocolate mixture. Top with pecan half, or walnut or sprinkle with decoration sprinkles if desired.
• 5. for the filling put chocolate chips in a double boiler over simmering water stir in milk and vanilla and mix well till chips are melted.
• 6. ............I use the microwave instead of a double boiler, Just mix everything together and heat at one minute increments stir until smooth. also there is no need to grease the tins, I have never had these stick to the pan. The dough is a little sticky, the balls do not have to be perfectly shaped, they shape during baking.
