I thought for the first post I would publish a recipe I got from Taste of Home Magazine via Cooking.com. It is so easy and looks like you spent hours in the kitchen. They are addicting and very rich.

Chocolate Peanut Sweeties

1 cup peanut butter

½ cup butter, softened (no substitutes)

3 cups powdered sugar

3 dozen miniature pretzel twists (about 2 cups)

1 ½ cups milk chocolate chips

1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

In mixing bowl, beat peanut butter and butter until smooth. Beat in powdered sugar until combined. Shape into 1-inch balls; press one on each pretzel. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until peanut butter mixture is firm--about 1 hour.

In microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and oil. Dip the peanut butter ball into chocolate. Return to baking sheet, pretzel side down. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Store in the refrigerator. Makes about 3 dozen.
