Nutty Butter Balls Food

NUTTER BUTTER BALLS (TRUFFLES)

Steps:

• Add the Nutter Butters to a food processor and process until a fine crumbs forms. Reserve 1 tablespoon of crumbs for topping, if desired.
• Add in the cream cheese, sugar, and peanut butter and process until combined.
• Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet and continue until all of the mixture is in ball form.
• Add the melting wafers to a bowl and melt on 30-second intervals stirring between each addition until smooth.
• Use a spoon and fork to dip each of the balls in the chocolate and gently slide off the fork onto the parchment paper to set.
• After every 4th ball, top the balls with Nutter Butter crumbs, sprinkles or sea salt before the chocolate sets.
• Allow the balls to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until hardened or place in the fridge for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
• Store balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Beat the confectioners' sugar, peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of the butter, vanilla extract and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until combined and smooth. Roll the mixture into 24 equal-sized balls (about 1 teaspoon each) and place them on a small baking sheet or tray. Chill in the freezer until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat the chocolate and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small microwave-safe bowl in 20 second intervals, stirring between each with a rubber spatula, until melted and smooth.
• Holding with two forks, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate to evenly coat. Tap off excess chocolate. Place the balls back on the baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm and set, about 1 hour. Serve chilled. Refrigerate extra balls in an airtight container.

GREAT GRANDMA'S NUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, 1 cup confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the cake flour, then fold in the pecans. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place them 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 15 to 19 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly browned. Cool cookies completely before rolling in additional confectioners' sugar. If you are storing the cookies in a tin, add remaining sugar to the tin.

BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• Grind walnuts very fine. Set aside.
• Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add vanilla.
• Add flour and nuts alternately. You may have to mix by using your hands to really get it all mixed together well.
• Roll into small balls, approximately 1-inch.
• Place on cookie sheet, ungreased. You can usually fit a lot of cookies on the cookie sheet because they do not spread that much.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, have a bowl of powdered sugar ready for when the cookies come out of the oven.
• When cookies are brought out of the oven, allow to cool for maybe a minute until you can pick them up without breaking them. Roll in powdered sugar and place them on wax paper. Cool.
• I also like to roll them in powdered sugar a second time when they are completely cool.
