Christmas goodies that go straight to my belly!

So I am getting all geared up for the Holidays! I already made a cute dress and a stocking for Olivia and I am working on a blanket for Matt and a tree skirt! So the two goodies I made today are yummy chocolate truffles and peanut butter chocolate balls! So here are the two recipes I used, thank you Pintrest:

Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients:

3 Cups of Semisweet Chocolate Chips, I used Bernard Callebaut chocolate
1 Can of Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Tblsp Vanilla Extract or Almond Extract

Chopped flaked coconut, baking cocoa and powdered sugar

Directions:

1) In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and milk; stir until smooth.Stir in vanilla. Chill for 2 hours or until mixture is easy to handle.

2) Shape into 1-in. balls with a melon baller. Roll in the coconut,cocoa or powdered sugar. Yield: about 4 dozen.

Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

2 1/4 Cups of Peanut Butter
2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
1 1/3 Cups of Graham Cracker Crumbs
3/4 Cup of Salted Butter
1 1/2 Cups of Milk Chocolate, I used Bernard Callebaut chocolate

Directions:

1) In a large bowl combine all ingredients minus the chocolate, mash together till well blended. Form into balls and then cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
2) Melt chocolate and then dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate, either set aside in mini cupcake liners or put on parchment paper in a pyrex dish and then chill until serving time.

* These taste just like Reeces Peanut Butter Cups, yummy!!

I know this isn't kitchen related but I wanted to show off my sewing projects... well I guess I did them on the kitchen table so that counts right!
