Chocolate and Peanut Butter! You can't go wrong with either one and putting them together ~ OUT OF THIS WORLD!
I found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine that was given to me from my friend Sharon. I was cleaning out some boxes that had secretly been hidden ( I'm the secret hider) since we moved here last year and came across this particular magazine. While looking through it, a craving for chocolate hit me out of nowhere.
When I came across this recipe, I read that it would make just enough to make me happy without making a huge mess. Honestly, this recipe makes just enough buttons, to make you mad. I recommend doubling the recipe for a huge chocolate craving.
Chocolate and Peanut Butter Fudgy Buttons
2 tablespoons butter1-1/2 teaspoons baking cocoa
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon milk
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
In a small saucepan, melt the butter; remove from the heat. Add cocoa and mix well. Stir in sugar. Add milk and stir until smooth. Add peanut butter and mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper; flatten tops and shape into 1-in. patties. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.
** I put my buttons in the freezer and when they came out they were kinda like a small peanut butter cup.**
Wow! I must have missed that recipe somehow! LOL! Those look delicious and now I've got a chocolate craving. I will need to make these tomorrow. :) Thanks for posting this!
