"This recipe came from my great-aunt. These don't last long at Christmas time. They are a peanut butter cup in a ball. A little time consuming, but well worth it!"

I've been looking for the recipe that was like my Mom's. This is it!! Nice and creamy, just the right proportions of butter to peanut butter. So many recipes to sift through to find the true original. Thanks so much for sharing. -
Excellent Recipe! Very easy and delicious!

I live in northern Illinois. I work as a Medical Transcriptionist, am also a church organist. I love to cook and bake, knit and sew. I have been the organizer for the churchs fall bazaar luncheon for the past few years. It's wonderful to hear how much everyone likes the food and especially when they ask for the recipes! I try recipes from RecipeZaar out on the guys at work - they love it! They are my guinea pigs (testers) for the church bazaar meal.
