Nutrition

Gather ingredients.

Cream together peanut butter and melted butter.

When using peanut butter in a recipe, I recommend the Oxo Good Grips measuring cup.

Add powdered sugar.

Your mixture should look something like this.

Roll into evenly spaced balls. The oil from the peanut butter and butter makes these fairly easy to work with, but if needed grease your hands with butter or cooking spray.
