Peanut Butter Bonbons

In a large bowl, beat together sugar, butter, peanut butter, and vanilla. Beat on high to incorporate as much air as possible into the mixture. Scoop out mixture on to a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. The scoops should be about 1 tablespoon. Put sheet in freezer to chill.

While mixture is chilling, melt chocolate in either a double boiler or in the microwave. Be careful not to burn the chocolate or to let it get any water in it. Dip mixture in chocolate and place on another cookie sheet covered with wax paper, place peanut half on top, and put in freezer.

Serve at room temperature.

Store in airtight container. These will keep for about one month in the refrigerator or 2 months in the freezer
