Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls with Mini M&M's

My favorite Christmas treat is my mom's chocolate peanut butter balls. I added holiday mini M&M's for a festive touch!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3/4 cup old-fashioned Quaker Oats
  • 1/2 cup M&M’s® Holiday Baking Minis
  • 1/2 cup butter room temperature
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 18 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 inch square para wax optional

Instructions

  1. Mix together peanut butter, powdered sugar, oats, butter and vanilla. Once combined, gently stir in the M&M’s®.

  2. Roll mixture into one-inch balls and place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Chill in refrigerator until hard.

  3. In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips and wax over medium-low heat. Using a toothpick, dip cold balls into chocolate and place back on wax paper. Remove toothpick and place M&Ms’® baking bit over the hole. Store in refrigerator.
