Tasty Tuesday

I usually always make bon-bons during the holidays. I used to make these all the time:

Peanut Butter Balls

1/2 lb. butter, melted
24 oz. powdered sugar
1 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 bar parafin

Put peanut butter in mixing bowl. Pour butter over and mix well. Add powderes guar and mix well. Shape into balls on wax paper. Place in fridge and chill 1 hr. Melt chips and parafin in double broiler. Put toothpicks in balls and dip in chocolate. (Keep the chocolate warm & stir at all times. Turn it down really low.) Place on wax paper and chill.

They are delicious! But then I found this next recipe, they are a lot simpler and still really tasty:

Nutter Butter Balls

1 pkg. Nutter Butters, crushed into sand-like consistancy
8 oz cream cheese, softened

Mix together. Roll into balls. Freeze for 15 minutes. In microwave safe bowl, put Chocolate Almond Bark and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips. Cook 30 seconds and stir, continue until melted. Dip balls into chocolate.

I always make those, and some with Oreo's. They're also delicious with a Red Velvet Cake, baked according to package directions, crumbled, then mixed with cream cheese. I like them dipped in white chocolate. Have fun with this recipe! I'm sure the possibilities are almost endless!
