1 (16 oz.) jar of creamy peanut butter
1 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 pkgs. (16 oz.) powdered sugar
1 (12 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels
2 tblsp. shortening
Beat peanut butter and butter at medium speed with a mixer until blended. Gradually add powdered sugar until blended. Shape into 1-inch balls
and chill 10 minutes minimum or until firm. Microwave chocolate chip morsels on high for 1 1/2 minutes or until melted. Dip each peanut butter
ball in melted chocolate mixture until partially coated, and place on wax paper to harden. Store candy in an airtight container. Makes 7 dozen

Oh man are these good. I made them with Morgandy tonight (I let her help roll the balls). I don't know if I made them to small but the recipe made a TON. I have lots of dough left (I froze it to use later). I forgot to add the shortening to the chocolate chips but they melted okay still. I also didn't use as much powdered sugar as the recipe called for. I found one 16oz. bag to be enough.
These are so yummy and rich and I ate 3 and think I have a cavity now. I'm going to go brush my teeth ;).
