1 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
1/2 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. confectioners sugar
1 pkg. chocolate morsels
4 tbsp. vegetable shortening

Line baking sheet with wax paper. Mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla and sugar with hands to form a smooth dough. Shape dough into balls, 2 teaspoons each. In top of double boiler, melt chocolate and shortening together. When smooth, pour into a bowl. Remove peanut butter balls from refrigerator, insert wooden pick into balls and dip into melted chocolate so that 3/4 of ball is coated. Return to wax paper chocolate side down and remove pick. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. To store, put balls in plastic container with layers of wax paper to separate.
