Lazy Sunday Afternoon Treat

Remember the Reeses Peanutbutter Bars we used to make and eat right out of the freezer? Beth G. gave Jen the recipe when she babysat her boys. Well, I got hungry for them, but invented a lazier method. Instead of pressing the ingredients into a pan and spreading melted chocolate chips on top, I mixed my carob chips in with everything else and rolled them up into 1-inch balls. Yum! Much easier to store and eat. Wanna make some? They really do taste like Reeses Peanutbutter Cups...and the peanutbutter must have at least a little redeeming value.

With a wooden spoon, mix 1 pound powdered sugar with 28 ounces of the thickest, cheapest peanutbutter you can find. It takes a lot of arm muscle, but stay with it until it is all mixed in. Add 2 cups or 1 large package of your favorite chocolate chips, then mix and roll into 1-inch balls. Keep covered and refridgerated so they don't get too dried out or sticky.
