Christmas should be simple for all of us this year. We want to entertain, but we don't want to spend all week in the kitchen baking and preparing. One of the most popular food items this time of year, is the desserts and treats. Some people even use desserts as a Christmas gift. It is a wonderful way to give from your heart. New recipes are great to try, but if you are running out of time, try this no fail traditional peanut butter ball. Another tip for this dessert is once you have used all of your peanut butter in the jar, wash the jar out and use it to store and transport your peanut butter balls. You can add a ribbon around the edge and attach this recipe with the jar full of peanut butter balls. Everyone knows what the peanut butter jar looks like, so if you fill it with this famous dessert, you will be a hit.

You will need:

1 Cup of peanut butter

1 Cup of honey

2 Cups powdered milk

Powdered sugar

Here is how to make it:

First, to prepare, sprinkle the sugar into a plate so you will be able to roll your peanut butter balls easily.

Mix the peanut butter, honey and milk together in a mixing bowl. It will form a thick mixture. Then roll the mixture into balls. Roll the formed balls into the sugar. Place on wax paper. When you are done rolling all of the mixture, put in the refrigerator to set. Once set, add them to your container.
