We lovingly have dubbed my aunt the "Martha Stewart of Washington State". She went to a professional chef’s school just for the knowledge and blessing of sharing good food with her family and friends. Everything she does is done is good taste, whether it’s decorating or dining.
This is one of the cookies she always makes at Christmas time. We all drool when she brings these out.
Chocolate Peanut Balls
1c. crunch peanut butter
1c. powdered sugar
1c. chopped dates
2T. butter
1pkg. chocolate chips
1/2square unsweetened chocolate
Mix the first 5 ingredients and roll into balls.
Melt chocolate and dip balls. Place on was paper and keep refrigerated.
YUM!
