Peanut Butter Balls
Directions

my aunt makes them and my family could never seem to get the right but this recipe was a very close second to them and made my family smile when I let them try some.

These treats are very, very nice and pretty ease to make, the only thing I would change is putting the balls in the freeser for a couple of minutes to firm up as when I put them in the chocolate coating they started to melt a little.
