I just made these for a Halloween party and they were a hit. However I think that the next time I try making these, I may put the peanut butter balls into the fridge instead of just letting them dry because they didn't really keep their shape while I had to cover them with the chocolate. But overall, they came out great.

These got lots of EWWWWW!! and squeals from the neighbor kids. They were a big hit! LOL! Easy and fun to make. The peanut butter mixture is delicious. I ran into a bit of problem with the decorating gel staying wet but I think that was because we've had very high humidity. Great recipe, the kids loved em!
