Directions:
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. In a medium-sized bowl, mix peanut butter, butter, vanilla and sugar with hands to form a smooth dough. Mixture will be very stiff.

Shape dough into balls, using 2 teaspoons for each. Place on wax paper and put in refrigerator.

In the top of a double boiler over simmering, not boiling water, melt chocolate and shortening together. When smooth, pour into a small bowl or measuring cup. Remove peanut butter balls from refrigerator. Insert toothpick into a ball and dip into melted chocolate so that 3/4 of ball is coated. Return to wax paper with chocolate side down and remove pick. Repeat with all balls. Refrigerate on wax paper 30 minutes or longer until chocolate is firm.

To store, remove balls from wax paper and place in plastic containers with wax paper between layers of candy.
