Combine melted butter with peanut butter and green food coloring, then mix in icing sugar to form a dough. Roll into walnut-sized balls, decorate with candy eyeballs in fun patterns, and chill for 15 minutes. A spooky sweet treat that's quick to prepare.

Directions

Melt 60 g of butter in a small saucepan on the stove or in the microwave until just liquified.

Place 175 g of SKIPPY® Peanut Butter Smooth into a large bowl, then pour the melted butter over it.

Stir the butter and peanut butter together with a whisk until completely smooth and uniform. Add a few drops of green gel food coloring and whisk again until the mixture has an even green hue.

Add 275 g of icing sugar to the bowl and whisk until fully incorporated. The mixture should look like breadcrumbs. Use clean hands to press it together into a dough.

Line a small baking sheet or plate with parchment or wax paper.

Pinch off pieces of dough and roll them into balls about the size of a walnut. Set each ball on the lined sheet.

Press edible candy eyeballs into the top of each ball. Vary the number and sizes of eyes—use one to three per monster—to create different funny faces.

Refrigerate the monster peanut butter balls for at least 15 minutes before serving.
