Peanut Butter Balls

  • 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup crushed peanuts
  • 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Shabbos candle

Mix the first six ingredients together in a bowl. Make into 1 inch balls and put onto wax paper. Melt the chocolate chips, butter, and Shabbos candle over hot water.

Dip the balls using a toothpick into the chocolate and coat with chocolate. Set aside on wax paper. Let cool.

Note: NaNa used a Shabbos candle in her coating, but it’s not considered a good idea any more. You can just coat the balls in melted chocolate or add a little (1 tablespoon) vegetable oil to the chocolate.
