This was our first WHITE Christmas -Bryn's dream come true! The hot hot hot chocolate station kept our toes nice and warm. The best part for me was having all the extra hands I needed to roll the peanut butter balls. We added another ball this year...Oreo truffles. They were a hit!
Hope you had a ball this Christmas too!
Peanut Butter Balls
2 cubes butter-soft
1 1/2 package finely crushed graham crackers
1 pd. powdered sugar (1 box or 3 3/4 cups unsifted)
1 tsp pure vanilla
1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter-I use Jif
2 bags milk chocolate chips - Guittard or Hershey are the best
1/8 of a parafin wax bar (optional)
Put graham crackers in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Use a rolling pin crush into fine crumbs. Pour into a large bowl and add the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Form into 1 inch balls-place on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper, and put in the freezer to firm for about 20 to 30 minutes.
In a double broiler melt chocolate chips with 1/8 of a parafin wax bar. You don't have to use the wax. Dip ball and let set in the freezer. Store in Ziploc in the freezer.
