1 cup measuring cup
Spoon and/or fork
Baking sheet
Combine first four ingredients so that the mixture sticks together (but doesn't cover your hands with peanut butter).
Roll mixture into balls about 1-inch wide (or the size of a quarter).
Dip balls in almond bark / candy coating. I use a spoon to swirl the ball around in the almond bark/candy coating and then transfer it to a fork to drain off the excess before placing the covered ball on the parchment paper.
Add any sprinkles you would like (or just keep them plain).
Let the almond bark/candy coating set before moving to a storage container. (I set mine out in my very cool garage to expedite the process!)
Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
If your almond bark/candy coating starts to harden or seems too thick to coat the Peanut Butter Balls, you can thin it with a little shortening, which won't affect the flavor.
I use about 1.25 packages of the candy coating from Target for this recipe but your amount may vary depending on how thick you coat the Peanut Butter Balls. I would suggest having two trays of almond bark/candy coating on hand. Start with one tray and you can always add some additional if needed.
