Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

with one comment

Yes, another Peanut Butter Ball recipe.  However, I like this one better than the previous one I have posted.  This one I just find more interesting and to my liking.  Although, I like the other one as well.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

Ingredients:

2 cups peanut butter (chunky or smooth) -(I use a cup of each)
1/2 cup butter softened
3 cups icing sugar
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups crispy rice cereal (I use rice Kripies)

Directions:

Mix peanut butter, butter vanilla and icing sugar, add cereal mixing well until well combined.

Form dough into 1″ balls and place them on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper. Chill for 20 minutes in the fridge or pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes.

In a double boiler or microwave melt 1/4 bar of pure paraffin (yes, wax, I know it’s weird but that’s what you do!!) with 3 cups of chocolate chips.

Using fork or slotted spoon, dip the peanut butter balls into the chocolate and place on wax paper. Chill until set.
