Peanut Butter Balls

Known as “Aunt Rena’s Peanut Butter Balls” to everyone in my family, this dessert has been at every family function since I can remember (and many years before I was around!). While it’s considered a ‘dessert,’ they are often put out as an appetizer because everyone would sneak them before dinner anyway. My uncles used to fight over them so it was a challenge to grab one before they could!
