Spooky Eyeballs (Peanut Butter Balls)

Ingredients:

1 Cup Creamy Peanut Butter                                  6 tablespoons butter, softened

2 Cups powdered sugar                                          2 1/8 ounces Butterfinger bar, finely chopped

12 Ounces white chocolate or 12 Ounces of vanilla candy coating

40 M&M's plain chocolate candy                           red food coloring or decorating gel

black food coloring or decorating gel

Directions:

1.  In a mixing bowl stir together peanut butter and butter until creamy.

2.  Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until combined.

3.  Stir in Butterfinger candy.

4.  Shape into 1-inch balls; place on wax paper.

5.  Freeze about 45 mins

6.  Melt white chocolate in a double boiler or get a med sauce pan filled 1/4 of the way with watr and heat until simmering and place a large glass or stainless steel bowl over top and turn heat off- if water is boiling it will scorch chocolate.

7.  Add chocolate to bowl, stir constantly until melted and smooth, if you want the coating thinner add a Tbs shortening until desired thickness is reached.

8.  Dip balls, one at a time, into coating.  Let excess coating drip off.

9.  Place on waxed paper, immediately press an M&M onto center of each peanut butter ball.
