Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter softened
  • 2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts ground/finely chopped
  • 1 1/2 lbs powdered sugar
  • Chocolate you can use your favorite chocolate chips, bars or waffers

Method
 

  1. Mix butter and peanut butter until combined.
  2. Mix in ground peanuts.
  3. Add enough powdered sugar to form a dough (non-sticky to the touch). Add additional powdered sugar if needed.
  4. Form into teaspoon size balls using a scoop or forming into a "snake" and cutting.
  5. Chill 1-2 hours (this will help chocolate harden quicker).
  6. Dip chilled balls in chocolate and place on waxed paper or parchment paper to cool and set.

Notes

Only use dry roasted peanuts to grind otherwise you'll end up with homemade chunky peanut butter. Use a blender or food processor to achieve a fine chop/ground.
