Peanut Butter Balls

A Christmas tradition in the Ball Family is peanut butter balls - every year we make them and then of course have to eat of the peanutty goodness.

So, last weekend Daddy, Mandy, Nathan and I made some.  We also melted a little chocolate and dipped a few - yumm!

I couldn't get a good picture of Mandy she kept moving or closing her eyes.

Our family recipe is very easy:

equal amounts of: peanut butter, kayro syrup, dry milk, and powdered sugar

Mix all together with your hands and then form into balls.  Sprinkle more powdered sugar on a cookie sheet (to keep the balls from sticking) and then place the balls on the pan and into the ice box - I don't like them unless they are cold.  Then you can dip them into chocolate, coconut, nuts, etc.  We usually just eat them as is!
