Peanut Butter Balls

1/2 stick of room temperature unsalted butter, not margarine
1 lb box of powdered sugar
2 cups creamy peanut butter
1 tsp honey
12-18 ounces of semi sweet chocolate morsels
Cookie Sheet
Parchment/Wax Paper


With a hand mixer blend butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and honey until completely smooth.  Chill mixture while you prep chocolate.  In a glass mixing bowl or microwave safe bowl melt chocolate in microwave in 30 sec intervals stirring in between.  Will be about 2 1/2 minutes total or until completely melted.  Remove peanut butter mixture from refrigerator and form into 1inch size round balls and dip into chocolate mixture and place on cookie sheet that has been lined with wax paper and repeat until peanut butter mixture and chocolate is gone.  Let sit on counter or in refrigerator until completely set.  Number of peanut butter balls will determine on how big you make the balls. Store in tightly closed container in cool dark place or refrigerator

Tips:

*Place lined cookie sheet in freezer to chill before you roll the balls, this will help them set faster when you place them on cookie sheet
*I personally dont use mixer, I do it by hand and when my fingers are no longer covered I know I have mixed it enough
*You can also add 1 cup of Rice Krispies, Butterscrotch chips or nuts to mixture before you roll into balls
*You can substitute with milk chocolate or dark chocolate..white chocolate is fine to drizzel on top but because of the fat content it doesnt provide a good solid coating
* Use butter instead of margarine because margarine is mainly water and oil and real butter should be used in almost all dessert and candy recipes for that very reason.
