Peanut Butter Balls

Whether it's a going away party at work or a bbq picnic with friends, I show up and people ask "did you bring balls?" They're talking about Oreo Balls (from a previous post). I swear I've made those things at least 16 times since being here. They are quite amazing, but I wanted to expand the variety of balls that folks could choose from (Folks is a Hawaii thing... I like it).

I stumbled across this recipe one day while searching for marshmallow creme recipes. Don't ask why I was looking up marshmallow cream. Probably because it's amazing and all I make with it is fruit dip (yum... fresh strawberries from the garden... how I miss thee). Anyway... I made these peanut butter balls for a going away party at work along with oreo balls. Then I asked which ones people liked best and it was pretty much 50/50. I didn't like these at first, but after putting them in the fridge over night and eating them cold... it was total bliss. I am in love. These are extremely easy and I know you'll make lots and lots of friends if you bring these to work, or a party, or anywhere you want to make friends.

Enjoy!
