  • 125g Co-op smooth peanut butter
  • 50g Co-op British unsalted butter, softened
  • 150g Fairtrade icing sugar
  • 4 Co-op Irresistible Scottish shortbread fingers

  3. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl over a pan of simmering water, without allowing the bowl to touch the water
  4. Set the chocolate aside to cool slightly, then roll the balls in it – you might want to use a cocktail stick to help you
