Chocolate Peanut Butter Acorns #Christmas #Chocolate

These chocolate peanut butter acorns are the cousin of absolutely everyone’s favored buckeyes. A clean peanut butter ball topped with a chocolate cap and a walnut stem.

Ingredients

• 12 oz peanut butter
• 1 stick butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 pound powdered sugar
• 16 ounces semi sweet chocolate
• 1/2 cup walnut pieces (for the stems)

Instructions

1. In the bowl of a mixer, beat peanut butter and butter. Stir in vanilla. Add powdered sugar and beat on low speed until smooth.
2. Roll into 1 inch balls and place in the freezer for at least 1 hour.
3. Place the chocolate in a deep bowl and microwave for 10-15 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals, until melted.
4. Spoon a little chocolate on the top of each peanut butter ball so they look like little "caps". Poke a walnut piece into the top of each acorn while still melted.
5. Cool completely to harden.
