Ingredients
- 15oz jar creamy, natural peanut butter*
- 1 stick of butter, softened
- 3 C powered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Chocolate and white chocolate (or candy discs)
- Chopped nuts (optional)
- Lollipop sticks
- Stickers for the end (optional)
Preparation
Step 1
Start by mixing peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and salt in a bowl. After it is mixed, start forming your cubes and balls. Place them on a silpat or parchment paper lined pan. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. While those are chilling, toast a handful or two of hazelnuts in a small skillet for a few minutes. Do not let them burn. When they have cooled a bit, finely chop them and place them in a small bowl for rolling. (I actually used a food processor). Place chocolate or candy discs in microwave bowl and melt. Put lollipop sticks in the peanut butter cubes and start dipping in chocolate. Dip in chopped nuts if desired, and place on parchment paper again to harden. Once they were hardened, I put stickers on the end of the sticks to give them more of a decorated look.
