Preparation
Step 1
1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and place in the freezer.
2. Mix peanut butter, ½ cup butter, sugar, and vanilla. Remove frozen sheet. With hands form nickel-sized balls. Mixture will be stiff. Place balls on sheet and spear with a toothpick.
3. Once sheet is full place sheet back into the freezer and allow balls freeze while slowly melting together chocolate and ½ cup butter in a double boiler.
4. Remove balls from freezer and coat in chocolate as desired (I do a full dip though some like to do a ½ or ¾ dip) and replace onto waxed cookie sheet.
5. Freeze or refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer to allow chocolate to firm.
6. For storage, keep refrigerated.
