What you need:
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup (one stick) melted butter
- M&M’s to taste (leave a few for decoration at the end)
- 12oz package of chocolate chips
Step 1: Melt your stick of butter. I melted mine in the microwave. Add the melted butter, peanut butter, and powdered sugar to a bowl and mix until smooth.
Step 2: Add the Christmas mini M&M’s next. The original recipe used traditional colored and sized M&M’s but I thought I would spice it up a bit for the holiday.
Step 3: Roll the filling into balls and place on parchment paper. I was able to make about 25 medium to large sized balls. Next time I make these, I will make them a little smaller.
Step 4: Place them into the freezer for around 20 minutes or until hard.
Step 5: Melt your chocolate in the microwave. I would recommend melting for around a minute and 15 seconds stirring every 15 seconds.
Step 6: cover your peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate and top off with M&M’s for decoration.
Step 7: Put back in freezer to let them set.
