Hi Holly. Your singing my song here. I make peanut butter balls every year as well, and it is indeed a heck of a mess. I use to just use my fingers, but I really didn't want to do that anymore, so I tried using a tooth pick. I would stick it in the ball, then in the chocolate and sort of roll it around, but never letting go of the tooth pick. Well, that worked ok, but sometimes the peanut butter would get too soft in the warm chocolate and the tooth pick would either slide right off, or the ball would fall apart.
I was going to ask this very question here, but thankfully this year, my hubby was home when I was making them so I recruited him to do it. It went so much faster that way. Smile. I'm interested to see what other suggestions others have on how to do this very messy task.

I'm new here. I'm going to start out by saying that I'm not great in the kitchen. I am just starting out, and I don't have a lot of confidence. I'm working on it, but just so you have a frame of reference. Every year for christmas I make peanut butter balls, these require dipping in chocolate. I was wondering if anyone has done this successfully and has any tips. Thanks for any help you can give. I've done it somewhat successfully in the past by using an egg separator, however, I'd like a better way if there is one. Thanks.
