Friday Recipe: Maple Peanut Butter Balls

I love peanut butter balls. Especially rolled in sugar and with a Hershey's Kiss melted in the center. Yum. But with a teaspoon of maple extract? Heavenly. OK, so I used maple syrup because I had no extract and couldn't see buying it for one recipe. It worked out pretty well, I had no complaints!

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter 1 1/2 cups peanut butter 4 cups confectioners' sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon maple flavored extract 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1.	Combine the butter, peanut butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and maple flavoring. Cream well and knead well.
2.	Melt the chocolate chips over low heat. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Dip into melted chocolate chips.
3.	Refrigerate overnight (or at least for about 15 minutes) on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.
