White Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites

This has become one of my favorite treats to make during the holidays! It is super easy and absolutely delicious! I first sampled it at Mistletoe Market a few years ago, and had to have the cookbook simply for this recipe! It comes from Table of Contents: Service, Settings, and Supper by The Junior League of Birmingham, Alabama. I shared some of this yummy treat with a friend last Christmas, and she said she ate it until she made herself sick! One bite is just not enough!
