Sometimes called Buckeyes but how does that go with Christmas? there are several variations of this ez fudge floating around the interweb, I tried several and then came up with my own variation

Step 1: What You Need

small jar of peanut butter
1/2 package of cream cheese
1/2 stick of butter
1/2-3/4 box of confectioners sugar
2 packs of semi sweet choc bits
hersey bar (s)
pretzels
toothpicks

Step 2: Nuke It

in a microwave safe bowl, empty the jar of peanut butter, half a package of cream cheese and half a stick of butter, microwave at 30 second intervals stirring between intervals until melted (going longer could result in a VERY messy microwave (no pics I was to aggravated to think about it)

Step 3: Sweeten the Deal

stir the confectioner sugar into the warm mix until it forms a dough, about 3/4 of a box

Step 4: Form It

I used a 1/2 teaspoon measuring spoon to scoop out the dough and then rolled it into balls which then were refrigerated

Step 5: Temper the Chocolate

I put approximately one and a half bags of chocolate chips in a bowl and sat that bowl in a bowl with water and microwaved until the water was boiling. I then stirred the chocolate until it was smooth and microwaved agaion for 45 seconds before stirring in 6 small hersey dark chocolate bars one at a time until they were all melted.

Step 6: Pretzel Topping

I'm sure I could have used a processor to crush the pretzels but I didn't want to dirty ALL that so I just used a cup and crushed them by hand

Step 7: Assemble

stick a toothpick in each peanut fudge ball, dip in the chocolate and then the pretzel crumbs and place them back in the refrigerator

Step 8: Share

after the chocolate has firmed up the treats can be placed together in a covered dish, they can sit out for a while but they are best cold, at least in my opinion. these are SUPER easy to make and people will be bombarding you for the recipe
