  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp shortening (for melting chocolate)

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Mix Peanut Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter and powdered sugar until well blended.

    Use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.
