Peanut Butter Balls

Good to see you! I hope you've had a nice day! Today's recipe is a sweet treat, more of a candy that can be made easily without many ingredients, enjoy!


PEANUT BUTTER BALLS (OR CREAMS)
note:This recipe can also be turned into sweet peanut butter frosting
1 egg
1/3 cup of peanut butter
1 tbsp of butter
1/2 tsp of vanilla
1/8 tsp of salt
2 cups powdered sugar
flour, optional
toppings, optional
Cookie Sheet
Parchment Paper

1. ***Here's a tip!*** Crack the one egg in to the 1/3 cup and pour it in. Beat the egg with a rotary beater and put the peanut butter into the 1/3 cup that you just used. the peanut butter should just slide out (this tip also works for shortening and other sticky substances)! :)

2. Add other ingredients except powdered sugar. Beat until smooth. Beat 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time scraping the side. The mixture should have the consistency of cookie dough, if desired consistency isn't achieved add a small bit of flour.  

3. Spread parchment paper over cookie sheet. Roll dough into balls and place on cookie sheet. Optional: Roll in sprinkles or nuts before placing on cookie sheet, or drizzle with chocolate or caramel.

4. Leave in fridge until ready to eat.
