Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

  • melting chocolates (milk, dark, or white chocolate)

  1. In a mixer: mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk together until it forms a soft dough.
  2. Roll your peanut butter filling into small balls. Coat fingers with cornstarch, if necessary, to keep from being sticky.
