Ingredients

- 1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter
- 3/4 Cup Knotty’s Popping Candy PB

A treat that proves there is no better combination than peanut butter and chocolate!

Method

Step 1

Beat the butter on medium speed in a large bowl until creamy – about 2 minutes.

Step 2

Add the peanut butter, vanilla, and salt. Beat on high until combined and creamy.

Step 3

Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat on low for 2 minutes until everything is combined. The mixture is supposed to be a little soft, yet crumbly.

Step 5

Using a rubber spatula (or your hands!), work the hard shell chocolate into the peanut butter dough.

Step 6

Begin rolling peanut butter dough into 1-inch balls and place on the baking sheet. Chill peanut butter balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour or until firm.

Step 6

During the last few minutes of the chilling time, begin melting the chocolate. Then remove the peanut butter balls from the refrigerator and dip them in the chocolate.

Step 6

Place balls back onto the baking sheet after you dip each one. Allow chocolate to completely set in the refrigerator before serving.
