½ cup butter, softened
1 cup creamy peanut butter
¾ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 package (12 ounces) white chocolate
2 Tablespoons Vegetable oil
butter
food coloring (optional)
Mix butter, peanut butter, vanilla, and sugar together. Refrigerate at least one hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls. Scoop dough into 1 inch balls and place on wax paper, tin foil lined baking sheet, or parchment paper greased with butter, for easy removal. Freeze at least 3 hours, or until firm.
Melt chocolate in heavy saucepan and cook on stove over very low heat, add vegetable oil and mix. Add food coloring for special occasions (pink for a baby girl with dark chocolate stripes on top). Coat each ball with chocolate. Work quickly before balls become too soft. Once balls are coated with chocolate refrigerate until chocolate has hardened. Makes about 2 dozen.
