  • 1 cup butter, melted
  • 3 (12 ounce) packages semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons shortening
Directions
  1. Blend together the peanut butter, sugar and melted butter. Allow to chill in refrigerator.
  2. Roll into 1 inch round balls and return to refrigerator.
  3. In a double boiler over medium heat, melt the chocolate and shortening. Whisk together until smooth.
