Okay, so there were SO easy to make and they taste so much better than any candy you buy at the store.
Joy of Baking pulls through again with a good recipe. You can find this one here. I can thank a facebook friend and old high school friend for posting this on facebook months ago. I bookmarked it and ended up browsing around their site and using quite a few of their recipes for Christmas.
Here are the changes I made...
- I just used hard margarine instead of butter
- I used vegetable oil when melting the chocolate instead of shortening.
- I wanted my tops to be as even as possible, so when I was putting the chocolate on top of the peanut butter, I found I needed about a tablespoon (recipe says to do a teaspoon). I ended up needing to melt more chocolate. I melted another 1/2 cup of each and it worked out perfect.
- I would also suggest putting your peanut butter in the fridge while melting the chocolate. It'll make it easier to scoop.
- I had the perfect amount (with my chocolate addition) to make 36 of them.
Let me know if you try it.
