Butterscotch Peanut Butter Balls


This is the first year I have attempted to make Peanut Butter Balls.  I always thought they looked so hard to make, but they are incredibly easy!  I made them with chocolate (of course), caramel and these yummy ones with butterscotch. 

Butterscotch Peanut Butter Balls

1/2 jar crunchy peanut butter
8 oz. (1/2 bag) powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup melted, cooled real butter
1/2 package butterscotch chips
1 tsp. olive oil

In a large bowl, mix peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and butter.  Mix with your hands until it is soft enough to form small balls.  Pre-form the balls and place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

In a small bowl, mix butterscotch chips and olive oil.  Microwave on low or defrost until chips are melted and easily stirred.  Stir well and dip the peanut butter balls into the mixture one at a time.  Remove with a spoon and place back on the Parchment paper to set up.  They start setting up pretty quickly.  I like to put mine in the fridge because I like them cold.

These are great to take to pitch-ins.  No cooking and really fast!  Enjoy!
