Naughty Peanut Butter Bon Bons by the Dozen!

- 1 tub of Duncan Hines White Cake Icing - $1.69 (should be around $1.20 or so at Walmart, this was purchased at Harris Teeter)
- 1 jar of Peanut Butter - $2.69

Total: $4.38 - Not bad when you think about buying three candy bars a week out of a snack machine?

I just added spoon fulls of peanut butter until it is firm and hard to stir. You wont use the hole jar, you wont use much at all really, you will still have enough for PB&J for the kids (and yourself!)

Let it sit in the fridge for a bit to thicken and then rolled it all up into little balls, this makes A LOT of bon bons, dozens. Then you can roll chocolate sprinkles onto some and dip others completely in melted chocolate, some you can leave plain. Just freeze the ones you won't eat and pull some out throughout the week, that way you have candy whenever you want (oh and they are OH SO GOOD frozen as well!)

They are pretty awesome and pretty cheap to make too! I will give you a shopping list later on the evening today for a real meal, I want to apologize for not leaving one yesterday I got caught up in my sister's birthday. :)
