Best Friend Peanut Butter Balls


16oz natural peanut butter, creamy
1 3/4 c. powdered sugar
1 3/4 c. finely chopped almonds* (optional:  roasted)
7 oz. milk chocolate (we use Dove Promises)

With an electric mixer, mix the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and almonds until combined.  Roll into balls and chill for at least an hour.  Melt chocolate in a double boiler, or in the microwave at 50% power.  Dip peanut butter balls into the melted chocolate and allow to cool on wax or parchment paper.

*  We put our whole almonds into a sturdy ziploc and smacked them a bunch with my heavy meat tenderizer.
