What you need:

2 lbs. Peanut butter
1 pound butter
3 pounds powdered sugar
two 12-ounce packages of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Use a high quality chocolate.
1/2 of one bar of paraffin wax
toothpicks for dipping
waxed paper

How to:

1. Place wax paper onto cookie sheets and set aside.

2. Cream peanut butter and butter until combined. Add sugar a little at a time. Make sure it is mixed well.

3. Roll peanut butter mixture into approximately 400 1-inch diameter balls. Insert one tooth pick into each small peanut butter ball. Set all of them aside.

4. Melt chocolate and paraffin (parafin helps the chocolate become shiny when it cools) in a double boiler. Be careful not to over-heat the chocolate.

5. Dip the ball into the chocolate so as to ALMOST cover the entire ball. Leave small portion of ball uncoated. Let cool on waxed paper. Store in a cool place.

Note: This recipe makes 400 cookies. Halve or quarter the recipe if you can’t eat that many!

I’ll be the first to admit that at least a portion of the weight I carry is the direct result of my love for cooking. I love to take recipes I like and make them my own by adding or substituting ingredients to suit my own taste. But most of all, I love to cook for the people I love. It something I’m pretty darn good at, and I should be good at it, I’ve been cooking since I was 9. (my first dish was cornbread the way mom makes it)

I’d love to have some submissions from my online pals cooking their favorite dishes and I plan to show off a few of my own when the studio is complete and my house is in order. In the meantime, I’m featuring a few of my YouTube friends who already have great dishes I like.

My first feature cook is Princess Diana with her awesome Chicken Rollatini! I love it when she and her husband Frankie get cookin in the kitchen. I think you will enjoy too. Visit her channel on youtube and subscribe. http://www.youtube.com/user/PrincessDiana161
