- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups peanut butter (I used the whole jar)
- 4 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon pancake syrup
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips
Directions
- Combine the butter, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and maple flavoring. Cream well and knead well.
- Melt the chocolate chips over low heat. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Dip into melted chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate overnight (or at least for about 15 minutes) on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
