Directions: |
Directions:Prepare baking sheets by lining them with wax paper. Beat peanut butter and butter in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in powdered sugar until mixture holds together and is moistened. Shape into 1 inch ball; place on prepared baking sheets. Freeze for 1 hour. Melt morsels and shortening (or paraffin) in medium, microwave safe bowl on high power for 1 minute OR over double-boiler until melted. Morsels may retain some of their shape. If necessary, microwave additional 10 to 15 second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Dip peanut butter centers into melted chocolate using a toothpick, leaving a small portion of the center uncovered. Shake off excess chocolate and scrape bottom of candy on side of bowl. Return to baking sheets; refrigerate until chocolate is set. Store in refrigerator. |
