This is one of the wife's recipes and all I got to say, is "delicious" without a doubt.

Ingredients:

1 and 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup softened butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
3-4 cups confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons Crisco all veg shortening

Combine peanut butter, butter, salt and vanilla in a bowl. Beat with electric mixer on low until well blended.
Add 2 cups of the confectioners sugar and beat on low until blended. Add more of the confectioners sugar
until, when you form a small ball, it stays on a toothpick. Then shape into 1 inch balls and refrigerate.

Put the chocolate chips and shortening into a bowl and microwave 30 seconds on medium.
Stir and repeat until smooth (reheat as needed when dipping the balls) Insert a toothpick into the balls
and dip 3/4 of it into the chocolate. Put on wax paper and remove the toothpick. You can smooth
over the toothpick hole with your finger. Refrigerate until firm.

Yield: 40 but of course the size you make them will give you more of them or less.

Here is what they look like:
