List of Ingredients
1 pound Butter
4 cups smooth peanut butter -- Skippy or Jif-best
3 pounds powdered sugar
4 pounds tempered chocolate or chocolate-flavored coating -- (to melt)
Recipe
Melt butter in a large bowl in the microwave. Put peanut butter in the melted butter and mix well. (Mixture will become soupy).
Mix powdered sugar into the peanut butter mixture SLOWLY. (It will become very stiff and you will have to use your hands). Roll mixture into 1-inch balls.
Melt chunks of the chocolate a little at the time in the microwave (don't burn it!). Dip balls in melted chocolate, set on waxed paper, and let cool.
