2 C. peanut butter
1/2 C. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
3 C. powdered sugar, sifted
milk or dark chocolate almond bark
orange candy melts
Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, butter, vanilla and powered sugar until smooth. If mixture seems to be too sticky to roll into balls, add 2 TBSP of powered sugar at a time to the mix until it is a soft dough consistency. Shape dough into walnut-sized balls and line up on the cookie sheet.
Melt chocolate almond bark in the microwave. Using a skewer or a fork to hold each ball, dip it into the chocolate, turning it to completely cover with the chocolate. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Lay the balls on the waxed paper to dry.
Melt the orange chocolate in the microwave. Spoon the chocolate into a plastic baggie. Snip the corner off one end of the bag, then drizzle the chocolate across the tops of the chocolate peanut butter balls.
Store the peanut butter balls in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
