Christmas goodies

This year for Christmas, instead of making pie or cheesecake, I made chocolate covered peanut butter balls. Think Reese's in ball shape. Very simple: powdered sugar, peanut butter, butter and vanilla. I can't really say the measurements because I just added powdered sugar to two jars of peanut butter until the consistency felt right. I also broke up pretzels and mixed those into the peanut butter mixture. I don't have a double broiler but I do have a Pyrex bowl that fits into one of my pots perfectly so I used that to melt the chocolate. It was a messy process but my they're good. My brother in law is my no holds barred honest taste tester and his response to these was "oh yeah, these good" :-) Mission accomplished.
