Serves: 30
Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups peanut butter
  • ½ cup butter, melted
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Sliced almonds
  • 1 package (16 oz.) Chocolate CANDIQUIK Coating
  • Black edible marker (or cake writing icing)
Instructions
  1. In a large bowl mix peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Refrigerate until completely cooled.
  2. Shape peanut butter mixture into a ball with a gradual peak/point to form the nose and place on a wax-lined baking sheet.
  3. Melt Chocolate CANDIQUIK in tray according to package directions.
  4. Place a small dab of CANDIQUIK on the back of the almonds and press two almonds on each peanut butter ball as the ears; freeze for 30 minutes.
  5. Using a toothpick, dip each peanut butter pup in CANDIQUIK, allowing the excess coating to drip off and place on wax paper to set.
  6. Once completely dry, use an edible marker or cake writing icing to draw on eyes and nose.
Notes/Tips
When dipping, pull a few peanut butter pups out of the freezer at a time; keeping the remaining peanut butter pups cool until needed.
