Peanut Butter Teddies

1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
72 miniature semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 teaspoons)

In a large mixing bowl, beat the milk, peanut butter, vanilla and egg until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; add to peanut butter mixture and mix well.

For each pear, shape the dough into one 1-in.b all, one 3/4-in. ball, six 1/2-in. balls and one 1/4-in. ball. On an ungreased baking sheet, slightly flatten the 1-in. ball to form the body. Place the 3/4-in. ball above body for head. For limbs, place four 1/2-in. balls next to the body.

For nose, place the 1/4-in. ball in the center of the heat. Add two chocolate chips for eyes and one chip for belly button. Bake at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on baking sheets. Makes 2 dozen.
