Ingredients

0.25 cup butter
1.5 cups peanut butter
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon maple flavored extract
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Combine the butter, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and maple flavoring in a bowl. Cream the ingredients well, then knead until fully mixed.
Melt the chocolate chips gently over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Roll the peanut butter dough into 1-inch balls, then dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
Place the chocolate-covered peanut butter balls on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 15 minutes, to allow the chocolate to set.
Serve these delightful Christmas peanut butter balls and enjoy the rave reviews!
