Peanut Butter Chocolate Bon Bons - Holiday Cookie Workshop 2016

These were fun to make . . . I made two varieties as my husband does not care for peanut butter cookies.  I used dark chocolate covered almond candies for his and the Reese's peanut butter cups for mine.  Trick learned is to make the dough into a ball, then flatten it by pushing the candy into it.  I've baked his but not mine.

Ingredients:

Classy Chocolate Pound Cake Mix
1 stick of butter, softened
1 egg
24 mini peanut butter cups
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:  Combine first 3 ingredients in a large mixing bowl until dough forms.  Wrap 1 tablespoon of dough around one mini peanut butter cup; form into ball.  Seal 6 cookies at a time in sealing wrap.  Place cookies in labeled 1 gallon freezer bag.

Baking Instructions:  Thaw frozen balls.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Place cookies 2 inches apart on greased baking sheet.  Bake 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned.  Cool completely.  Microwave chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl 30 seconds; stir.  Repeat 10-second heat and stir intervals, if needed, until chocolate chips are smooth and shiny (overheated chocolate will become dry and chunky).  Spread melted chocolate 
 chips on tops of cooled cookies.

Makes approx 2 doz.
