I just didn't care for these that much. Edible, but not something I'd bother repeating.

For some reason the peanut butter mixture would not stick together to form balls. I don't understand why.

Tastey! Easy but somewhat messy. Next time I will make some minor changes, such as line the storage container with wax paper, before I start dipping the cookies. Use a toothpick to dip the cookie in melted chocolate. Then put the cookie on the wax paper. I needed to put mine in the fridge to set, so it got a little messy transferring the cookies... but a very good cookie!

Maybe my kids didn't make these right or they were just not to my taste. Not my favorite.

I wish I would've read past reviews before I attempted making these. They were very good but didn't make very many because of all the peanut butter that stuck to my hands. Next time I'll know better and put the balls in the freezer before dipping them in chocolate. It also took a long time for the chocolate to harden.

Fantastic! I used natural peanut butter for the inside and a mixyure of semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips for the coating. Also, I microwaved the chocolate coating as was suggested by an earlier reiewer. I also froze them which was great - it made dipping them better. Also I just dunked the balls in the hcocolate and lifted them out with a fork. I could do 5 at a time this way and they still turned out looking good.

These are soooo tasty. A few tricks that were helpful: 1. Freeze the pbutter balls before dipping - not solid but an hour in the freezer worked great for me. The kitchen was warm and so were my hands - without the freezing, the balls were too mushy to really dip. 2. Use toothpicks to dip the balls in the chocolate (which I had no probs with). This creates a small pinprick size hole at the top, which I covered with a small dot of chocolate - the perfect topper! Everyone loves these - they are disappearing out of the freezer before the holidays even begin!

Step #1 goes smoothly. Step #2 for me was a disaster. After adding the shortening to the chocolate, the ingredients turned to sludge. Fortunately, I have a friend who makes these, and she gave me her recipe for the dipping mixture and the end result was fantastic. Melt 2 cups of choc. chips with 2 tbsp. veg. oil in microwave on high for one minute. Stir and microwave for 30 seconds more. An additional 15 seconds might be required. Dip the balls as instructed in the last sentence of Step #2.

I made this recipe as a cookie exchange for the holidays. Instead of using the semi-sweet chocolate i used chocolate candy melts which I already had. It came out great. Tastes better than peanut butter cups.

I think that the recipe may have been wrong. When I put the shortening with the chocolate, the chocolate would not melt. I found another recipe of the same thing and it said to put the shortening with the peanut butter mix. I eventually just melted milk chocolate and dipped the peanut butter mix into it (but let me tell you, peanut butter on a fork in chocolate does not work very well!) The peanut butter balls slipped off the fork into the chocolate and was very difficult to transfer onto the wax paper. With the milk chocolate on, they tasted pretty good-just like a reese's peanut butter cup.
