Bull's Eye Peanut Butter Candy image

These are just like little peanut butter cup balls. There is a bare circle on the top where the peanut butter shows through and this is the bull's eye (I guess). You could dip the whole thing and have just a chocolate covered ball. Anyway, they are delicious and they make a lot.

Time P1DT30m

Yield 75 balls

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup butter (soft)
1 (1 lb) confectioners' sugar
1 (12 ounce) jar peanut butter
1 (3 inch) square paraffin wax
1 (12 ounce) package chocolate chips
4 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate squares

Steps:

  • Mix the peanut butter mixture together well.
  • Form into small balls and put in refrigerator over night.
  • When ready to dip, use a double boiler and melt the wax, chocolate bits, and the squares of chocolate together.
  • Using a toothpick (I sometimes use a fork so I don't have to get rid of the toothpick hole), insert it into the middle of the ball and dip in the chocolate mixture about 7/8 of the way, leaving a small eye at the top.
  • Put on wax paper to cool.
