Life just doesn't get much better than it does when you have chocolate and peanut butter in it.. does it?
I sure don't think so. These are one of my favorite quick and easy dessert recipes to make and a staple during the holidays. I love that you can make them ahead of time and they freeze so well. You simply remove them from the freezer when you're ready to serve them. They're perfect for cookie swaps, Christmas cookie exchanges at the office, gifts for friends, teachers and more. Also, great to whip out if you have unexpected guests. And they're so easy to make, I promise!
To make these little morsels of Heaven, I use:
My Food Processor (I think this is necessary for this recipe)
