The kids really liked these. Who can go wrong with pb balls,eh? Thanks for sharing.Made for Spring PAC,2011. -
My great aunt Sis Keithley would make these balls around Christmas-time, but in different proportions of peanut butter and butter. A "12 oz jar of crunchy peanut butter" and 2 sticks of "butter or oleo". I'm sure the taste is similar and I loved these! They taste similar to Reese's peanut butter cups.

I live in Cedar Falls, Iowa. I work for Kent Feeds Co. where we make feed for livestock and pets. I am single so I like to try new recipes out on my family and friends. In my spare time I run marathons, and like most outdoor sports during the summer. I am a neat freak so I don't like when people make a mess and don't clean them up right away.
