MY favorite cookie recipe isn't a cookie! Chocolate Peanutbutter Balls - my husband hates it when I make them cause I make a million at a time and freeze them (they are best frozen) and he finds himself in the freezer all winter LOL

Ingredients:

3 sticks butter (isn't anything with 3 sticks of butter good? I melt this)

2 lbs confectioner sugar (whole bag)

28 oz peanut butter (whole container Skippy Creamy)

1/4 cup Karo® Light or Dark or with Real Brown Sugar Corn Syrup

24 oz semi sweet chocolate (I use Hershey milk chocolate chips)

1 square paraffin wax (I use chocolate flavored bark squares)

Steps:

Mix butter and peanut butter together.  Add Karo Syrup.  Mix sugar with peanut butter mixture.  Shape in balls.  Refrigerate 2-3 hours (I stick it in the big outdoor freezer for 30 minutes...lol)

Melt wax/bark and chocolate on med heat until smooth with a double boiler.  Dip balls in chocolate.  Cool on wax paper. 

HINT! I have done both…. Use toothpick to tip balls into chocolate mix. OR I use a skewer and another skewer to get it off lol. Then at the end I put just a little bit of chocolate on the top to cover the hole that was made. 

The batch makes 200 good size ones or 400 small ones.
