Dee’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Drops

By Chef Dee Johnston on May 24, 2018

Dee’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Drops

Dee’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Drops

Makes about 100 drops

Melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness!

Once you try these, you will wonder what you ever loved about Reese’s!

What you’ll need:

18 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate pieces OR equivalent amount of your favorite chocolate

1 cup butter, softened

2 cups creamy peanut butter

1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

4-5 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup chopped or grated paraffin

Pecan halves (optional)

Steps:

  1. Mix butter, peanut butter and vanilla together with hand mixer or by hand. Blend in sugar.
  2. Form mixture into small balls (about 1 teaspoon dough per ball).
  3. Melt chocolate and paraffin together in the microwave, stirring in 1 minute increments until completely melted and combined.
  4. Dip balls into chocolate mixture one at a time and place on waxed paper. Top each piece with a pecan half, if desired.  If chocolate begins to harden during the dipping process, just return to the microwave and re-melt.
  5. Top with some flake sea salt, a pecan half, chopped nuts such as pistachios,  or just leave plain. Great any way!
  6. Refrigerate until hardened.
