INSTRUCTIONS
Line baking sheet with wax paper. In a medium sized bowl mix peanut
butter, vanilla, butter and sugar with hands to form a smooth dough.
Mixture will be very stiff. Shape dough into balls using 2 tsp for each.
Place on wax paper and put in refrigerator. In the top of a double boiler
over simmering, not boiling, water, melt chocolate and shortening together.
When smooth, pour into a small bowl or measuring cup. Remove peanut butter
balls from refrigerator. Insert a wooden toothpick into ball and dip into
melted chocolate so that 3/4 of ball is covered. Return to wax paper,
chocolate side down, and remove pick. Repeat with all balls. Refrigerate
on wax paper 30 minutes or longer, until chocolate is firm, not sticky. To
store, remove balls from wax paper and place in plastic containers, with
wax paper between layer.
