Peanut Butter Balls

Peanut butter balls are a Christmas tradition that is a must!    Family members were looking for some at Thanksgiving.  They don't last long around here.

• 1 ½ c peanut butter
• 2 T butter, room temperature
• 3 T light corn syrup
• 1 t vanilla extract
• 4 T heavy cream
• 1 lb confectionary sugar
• 2 lbs. chocolate candy melts

Mix the first six ingredients together until well incorporated.  Form into  1 inch balls.  Melt chocolate according to package directions.  Roll the peanut butter balls into the chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.   We store ours in the freezer, but the refrigerator will be fine.
