Peanut Balls
Read my review of this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 pounds powdered sugar
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 7 tablespoons marshmallow creme
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 12 ounces dark chocolate
- 3 cups chopped peanuts
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix the powdered sugar, butter, cream cheese, salt, and vanilla by hand. It takes a little work to get it mixed together, but make sure it’s smooth. Roll into balls and refrigerate overnight. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler. Dip the balls into the chocolate and then roll in the peanuts. Transfer to wax paper until the chocolate hardens.
Makes about 10 dozen balls.

Substitutions:
We had a hard time getting the balls coated in the chocolate until we added a little wax to the chocolate.
